New birkenstocks!

I have been coveting a pair of these shoes for three years, when I first started thinking about them my desire was purely for the extreme comfort of Birkenstocks without the extreme clunkiness of some of the classic Birkenstock styles. But I was worried about whether I could come to terms with wearing mary janes pretty much all the time (because I will wear them all the time, at least in winter), I worried about how I would feel having socks peaking out through a hole in my shoes.

One guess as to my first thought when I tried them on at my favourite shoe store last week. Yep, you guessed it. Must. Knit. Socks. Finding sock yarn just became a priority in my life.

The Wool shack has some goregeous Lorna’s Laces sock yarn. I just bought some. Not cheap, but so yummy. Gloriously soft for sock yarn. Only a couple of colours right now but they will order any colour you like next time the do an order if you let them know. It is so much softer than any of the other sock yarns. Patontyle is softish but doens’t come in glorious colours, certainly more affordable though. Hope that helps. Socks are fun to knit. Vicki
