Comment on Do you actually wear handknit socks? by Susan

Not only do I wear them, but I want to wear nothing *but* them (except to the gym.) They’re so much more comfortable and durable than most other bought socks out there, and each pair holds the memories I knit into them.

Thanks for the webcam link to the hummingbird. We had a nest in our patio one year but did not get to see the little ones after they hatched as she kept them hidden until they were flying. So I am hoping I can see these hatchlings.

Absolutely, I wear my hand knit socks and I don’t care if they wear out. I save a little yarn from each pair to darn them if needed. I replenish my sock drawer every year and I knit a lot of socks for friends. Everyone I know gets a new pair on a birthday and Christmas. My husband also love his socks and wouldn’t be able to bear our winters without them…ciao

I think it is part of the “I am done” mentality and I wouldn’t worry about it. I am considering cancelling some of my follow-up appointments, like I don’t know why I need to see oncologists any more. I need to have my liver rescanned some time but I could do that through my GP. I just want to move forward!

Total subconscious resistence to more medical appointments. I think you’ve just had your fill and you’re just not prepared to hear anything that could require even more, so you conveniently forget. Add to this your current post-traumatic stress frame of mind, it’s not at all surprising. I’ll bet this happens all the time in your situation. You really have to stop being so hard on yourself. You’ve done amazingly well considering all you’ve been through – just relax and let your body work itself out now.

Last year I was a week early for my drs appt and I had the right date on my calendar. While I was at the office, on the right day, a woman came in for her appt at 9:30 and her appt was actually at 1:30. It happens to all of us…

I pretty much only wear handknit socks, except to the gym. For some reason, I wear sweat socks (maybe because I figure on sweating?) I love my socks. I try to make my family all socks for Christmas and birthdays and they love them. They feel good, last fairly long and are easily mendable. Darning socks is a lost art….

I love handknit socks, but I also don’t wear them for walking much. I find that it makes the soles of my feet “vibrate” or something because of the thickness of the yarn, I suppose. So after a while my feet feel a bit sensitive or numb. But I love them!

I wear handknit socks every single day that isn’t too warm for them (with my crazy cold feet that’s July). Other socks just don’t fit my miniature ‘Fred Flintstone’ feet. Other socks don’t hug. Others socks aren’t so fun to look at.
