Knitting as housework

We live in a cold, drafty old house and conventional wisdom says you loose a lot of body heat through your feet. Warm socks, therefore, are a necessity of life in Saw-whet Manor. I'd say they are as important as doing dishes or scraping paint. So spending a whole evening knitting is the same as doing lots of housework. Right??


This is my first pair of socks made from a $2 ball of wool yarn from a big box craft store:


More to come!

  3. And fingerless gloves so at least your hands are warm while your fingers are available.
