[Artemisia] socks

[AnnaMarie Lubow]

There's something about hand made socks that always makes the time well 
spent.  I can't explain it but they just make you feel more warm and fuzzy 
than regular socks.  Considering the time spent to knit a pair of socks, the 
expense (about 20X the price of a regular pair of socks) it is truly a labor 
of love.  I only have two pair of my own hand knit socks but I've given away 
more than a dozen pair and I have to say, every recipient does love them.
