http://theavidknitter.blogspot.com

A blog dedicated to the knitters world. This blog is continually constructed and updated in order to gather and re-disperse information about the history, and evolution of the craft of knitting. My goal is to help beginners, advance the intermediate and keep experienced knitters interested in the craft.

Hey Jeff. You didn't leave any contact information that I could use to get back to you on the socks. Do you have a picture of a pair of socks you want them to look like? How much of a wool blend do you want it? I'd like to see what the slippers your grandmother used to make. Thanks for the review!

I am looking for a way to find someone who would be willing to knit for me a pair of heavy wool slipper socks in a masculine color like black and green. Any suggestions. I live in New York State. My old aunt used to make these wonderful slippers....but alas, she is gone. Any ideas? Thanks
