These are my holiday socks, knit by my sister Kathie. She has been busy knitting ALL YEAR long and gifted many of us with her creations. These socks are so comfortable... good fit and great yarn, and really warm to wear around the house as well as with my boots outdoors. She knit Richard a pair of fiddler's gloves, for those of you familiar to fiddling in cold weather, you'll know how important it is for the hands to be warm but the fingers be able to play the strings! I was able to find a pair of 'fiddler's gloves' for SK, they aren't nearly as common as traditional fingered gloves. Still, they are bought commercially, and though they appear fairly home made, they certainly don't have the same love and effort that Kath's knit goods bring along with them.
Thank you Kathie for sharing your gift and love for knitting with us :) We have been fortunate to have Kathie and David join us for music night throughout the year, as often as our busy schedules allow. We wish them a joyous start to the new year and look forward to sharing many more evenings of music and conversation.
