this yarn has a high mohair content. (i've lost the label, but i think it was something like 20% or 25%) not that i want to handwash socks, as the yarn is superwash, but i can just see the mohair grabbing every bit of lint in the wash and making my lovely socks look like old towels. i slept in them the night i finished them, and my toes were toasty warm!
the joyful thing about moving is seeing all my stuff again! (especially the books) i knew before i moved in that this is where the knitting library would be ... leta knew too, as when she helped me move the first batch of boxes with knitting books, she immediately dropped the boxes infront of the mantle. us knitters just know.
i know this doesn't look like much ... just a bunch of clutter infront of a closet ... but guess what is STASHed inside that closet? yep! YARN! lots of yummy touchy-feely YARN! i'll show it off another time ....

Yay!! I can't wait to see your new place! Wandering around your Carson apartment was like being in a crafter's playland. Your socks look wonderful; I wish there was a way to feel them over the internet.
