Remember the story about my mom's cashmere socks? The ones I made her for Christmas last year but they didn't fit? (The ones she valiantly tried to make fit, despite the heel being completely underneath her foot.) Well, I ended up with that pair - I had mistakenly thought we had approximately the same size feet - so I benefitted completely from this mistake. I told my mom I would make her a new pair and it took me until recently to finish them. And I was finally able to give them to her last week when she visited.....

That's us with our matching socks. She loves them. And I love mine. They are so incredibly comfortable. (ArtYarns Cashmere Sock yarn -- I'm getting a few colors in soon!)
And look what comes to visit us in our backyard a few times during the summer:

This was the first time we were able to get a picture of it. It's amazing to see it fly in because it has HUGE wings!

I have always tried to catch a picture of the Blue heron's when I am visiting the Adirondacks but as of yet, have not been so lucky. Aren't they awe-some! BTW, how does that cashmere yarn wear? Thanks!
I have some Blue Herons around my house, and I always love seeing them. Early one morning, one was leaving our pond, started flying over head, and then slowly veered away in a few wingstrokes when it realized a human was out and about - just amazing to watch.
BTW, the cashmere socks are gorgeous! I don't know if I could settle for just 1 pair - I know how much I love my cashmere sweaters...
As for how the cashmere yarn wears, I'm not certain yet. My mom and I are test driving it now. I have not had any negative feedback from customers who have purchased it. It does contain wool and nylon in addition to the cashmere so that helps with durability.
Hi Lizzy,
YEA ! I LOVE my cashmere socks - thank you, thank you, thank you - you're such a lovely daughter ! BTW think about posting a pic of that fanciful cashmere goat that made it possible for our feet to dance with comfort :0) ... xo
