Last week here at the farm we had a four day fiber instructional workshop, and one of the tracks was sock knitting (there was also weaving, spinning, or felting). I would stop in every day and see the participants' progress, and it was so fun. I am not there yet, and am quite content to let other people do the sock knitting, but it's fun to watch it all come together.

I hear tell that somewhere out there there's an old sock-knitting machine. I love this. If I had a herd of alpacas or sheep, I would totally get one of these, because I love warm, cozy socks for wintertime, but don't actually want to knit them myself. And it's more fun than sending it to the fiber mill. :)
