socks,socks and a new tool

dear friends, i am back again, i had several meetings with doctors and when i felt better i got an influenca that knocked me nearly out,but i am feeling much better now. but i haven`t been lazy, i knitted 43 pairs of socks the last two months,and i found a new tool to knit socks with thin yarn,too.it is the KB Sock Loom,and i like it very much,because it is adjustable for any size you want to knit.you can see it above. i hope i can start quilting and sewing again soon, have a nice week,susi
