Pair #2 of the socks for this draw: Size 2-5 (a small 5!), or MAHG:: this 100% merino wool sock yarn from Artfibers (Ultramerino) feels like a hardwearing, sturdy cotton yarn. In a good way. Chocolate, orange and steel colourway. Get your tickets now!!! (The draw for this pair of socks is slated for January.)

Launch -- Lancement

Looking out the window at the first snowfall makes me think of the warmth and comfort of handmade wool socks! (Also, all those parents in cold arenas freezing their feet off.)

Hopefully I am going to be able to talk with someone at the arena in Cowansville and get the actual pairs of socks in a display case. For now, though, I guess I'll be handling ticket sales on an informal, individual basis. I am at the skating rink every week on Fridays for figure skating (4:15 - 5:45), and Monday evenings for Elliot's regular practice (6:30-7:45).

Reminder: tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. You can buy tickets for Novice, MAHG, Old-Timer or PeeWee sizes-- simply indicate your preference when you purchase the ticket(s).
