I'd been putting lots of small balls sock yarn into a gallon jar for quite some time, mostly to keep spiders from wanting in there. Finally decided to do something with them (I used to give them away, no more). I had jar on the floor and just reached and grabbed a small ball, knit with whatever I had grabbed. Think I only complete;y used up 5-6 balls and the rest bred overnight. Jar looks about as full when I started. Easily enuff for prolly two more pair especially if I use a solid colour for the top, heels and toes. Next pair (ordered) with be medium gray KPicks Hawthorne with white, dark greens and several other manly colours. Temps finally warming up from -35°C to just -9° this morning (16°F). Have had most of the winters snow in late January and Feb., so much so that for the first time this year I had my driveway and yard plowed.

Started these socks the morning of the inauguration, got 22 rows ribbing done before the swearing in of Joe Biden, continuing working on them along with another pair, finishing the inauguration socks last night. Now onto the real Monstersocks (grab a colour withut looking from jar), first sock done and about 20 rows past ribbing on #2. I am sure I have enuff of the mixed blue stuff for at least another pair, but not in immediate plans. Want to finished the Monstersock then go to a light gray with other manly colours (not yet decided) in a mans size 11, that will take sone time. The real Monstersocks Starting tonight Tatlako is due for a prolonged blast of arctic air, with coldest night Wednesday at -38 C or 35° F below zero. In preparation for colder stuff I flipped the comforter on my bed, now have heavist amount of down on side I sleep on. The price I pay for the glorius mountain views. Just saw the big grader heading south clearing the 8 plus inches of snow off the roa...
