Necessary?

I like to knit. I like to make things, period. Mostly, I knit blankets because it's so cold in my house during the winter months. It's good to have enough to go around when folks come over. I have the cuddliest house on the block!

When I go to the yarn section of a store, I'm always amused by the patterns they offer for free.

So far, this is my favorite.

Pedicure socks. For those times when it's too cold for flip-flops alone and you only want to lose your toes to frostbite.

Check out those nasty toes. Who wears their toenails that long? Yuck.
