Winter socks for OH............

annie123

I 2nd M & S for the thermals, nice and warm, primark ones aren't bad around £5 each if I remember correctly, and http://www.britishthermals.com/index.php are not a bad price either.
Also read that asda and tesco sell them but neither near me so never looked.


After having read for years about Mardatha's sock knitting and seeing a pair of knitted socks I'm going to try to knit a pair
If it works then I the men in my family are getting socks for the big C.
I will use Mardathas sock pattern then if I get really stuck you'll now what I'm talking about when I shout HELP
Will start after window quilts.
Might go back to work for a rest!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to buy thermals from Damart http://www.damart.co.uk/. They were always good quality. Haven't bought any recently, but stuff we bought from them 20 years or more ago is still fine!

Yes they were knitted on two needles, the ones I am doing now are on 3 needles and going to take a lot longer, takes a bit of getting used to.

Oh Csarina, I was just going to say "what about knitting them?!" DH, DS and I all have loads of knitted ones, and they're SOooo toasty warm! Love those yarns that produce stripes and patterns.
