I decided on socks for my mom because she hates to knit them and she needed a pair of stretchy night time socks for TV watching. Knitted at worsted/aran gauge, these socks would not be comfortable worn with shoes but their squishiness makes them perfect for curling up on the couch. It also makes them fast to knit!
The pattern is a free one from Rav -- Super Spiral Bed Socks -- and it's well written and fun to knit. I have no idea what the original 'polar fleece' yarn is like to work with but I do know I used much more yardage than suggested by knitting these in wool. Be aware of this yarn suckage if you make a pair yourself.
More sewing, a bit more knitting, then a lot more cooking and baking for me. I'm just not feeling the crafting love this year.
How's everyone else doing out there?

As soon as I saw the first photo I thought, she dyed that yarn! I love that buttery yellow, a nice warm color for socks. I remember the reveal from last year but a quiet Christmas is nice, too. It might be a bit of a Who-ville experience around here, having taken a bit of a spill as holiday prep was ramping up. Nothing broken but having a concussion is worse than I thought. -linda
Oh no, L, so sorry you've been sidelined! I've had a concussion myself and I'd take a broken bone instead any day. Please do take care, sit back this year and have them all come to you :)
Aw, you are soo sweet. Tears.
Yeah, the dizziness and unsteadiness is a pain whilst trying to fix up those cozy guest beds. Super-daughter is coming to the rescue in a few days! What is very strange is I now like eggs, and couldn't abide them before. I must have some type of food amnesia. My husband has been trying to see if that extends to his favorites that he has never been able to get me to eat. I have drawn the line at hot dogs. LOL
