This new "Step" yarn by Austermann that we get from Skacel Yarn Co. is doing well. We've already sold 3 pr of socks in it. Just working with it is delightful. It's the Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil that make it feel so cashmere-like and then to think that it softens your feet while wearing them! Well, that's just too much wonderfulness! The infusion of the aloe and jojoba lasts approximately 40 washings. I really need to make myself a pair.
My aunt received her birthday socks and loves them. I can remember as a little girl when she knitted my doll a hat. I can still see that hat and remember how thrilled I was receiving it. Now, as my aunt is in her 80's, I'm knitting for her. Isn't life fun?
Well, I have some socks to mail off this morning and I need to run to the food store with this snow storm coming in. I'm wondering since I just used the term "food store" if any of you say that, too? I'm originally from Michigan so is that a term from the midwest, or am I just weird? Everyone here says "grocery store."
More sock pictures will be coming................

I have never heard it called a food store and I have lived on the west and east coast. It must be a midwest thing. I say grocery or market.
I love snow, but now I don't want it here. All of my fruit trees are budding and I don't want to lose any fruit. We are 72 today so I can deal with that. I am only 3 feet above sea level so maybe that will help. Stay warm.
Warmly,
Tracey
Hey There Mac!
Where did your mom buy the new yarn? I like the one with the pink dots on it.
You're a man er mac of many talents sir!
My lovely gift/prize from Mac arrived yesterday. Thank you very much!
Hope the storm doesn't hit you too hard.
I received my gift from Mac yesterday. :) Thank you so much! Now I'll have to learn to tinker with them! So with your expected snowfall, Mac, do you like the snow? My son is 2 so he doesn't have much experience with snow and he loves how it looks and stomping on it, but doesn't want it to touch him.
Here in WV, it's "grocery store." I learned in high school that since a "grocery" is a store that sells food, the term is actually redundant.
