I'm very good with double points and made socks that way for years, but the long circs are more portable. I use one circ for each sock, but I work them both at the same time and trade off. I use Priscilla Gibson-Roberts book Simple Socks for the size chart. It's been a real blessing for my husband to get hand made socks. His feet and legs swell and he couldn't get socks large enough to fit well.

I follow a few self-sufficiency blogs and others are doing likewise, otherwise it kind of defeats the object of living a simpler life if you are tied to a computer so much! Love your kitchen and it is very similar to the one I am about to put in, so great to see your version and it has encouraged me that I have made the right choice.

Yours is so warm and inviting and the tiles really bring that joyous feeling that so many homes are missing. I am glad you are continuing the blog you have helped my sister and I connect and grow towards our goals. Thank you for giving us the tools to start a more content and productive life enjoying simple pleasures and learning to knit.

When we had the kitchen built I deliberately requested cupboards that are able to be re-painted because I knew I would want to change the look from time to time.
