The good ladies of Liverpool knit the most wonderful socks. Fortunately, they sell these socks at craft fairs and at Memory Lane. Why they sell them at Melody Lane I do not know, because Memory Lane is a photography and framing and computer store, but I only know that I am grateful. These socks are part of my survival kit in Nova Scotia.
These socks are made of a blend of wool and nylon so they are warn but wash without shrinking. They tell me that the socks are 90% wool which why they are warm. But these socks are quite thin so they can be worn in a regular shoe. Before I discovered these wonderful socks I was almost always cool, even in July, but since I own twelve pair of these colored wool socks, I am never cold. These socks come in many different patterns and colors. In addition, I even have three pair of black socks in this wool, so I wear them even going out when I am dressed up. I am sure that I look peculiar, because everyone else is wearing sandals and shorts while I wear long pants and wool socks. Some time in August, when the weather is very warm and the temperature reaches seventy five degrees, I leave off my socks and wear my teva's, but for the moment, to survive and thrive in Nova Scotia, I need these wonderful colored wool socks. This morning, when I got dressed, the sun was shining, so I decided that I no longer needed to wear my socks. That was a mistake. I wore my sandals all day and have been chilly the whole time, so now at five o'clock, as I am organizing dinner for tonight, I will return to my old ways and wear these wonderful wool socks. Only then am I totally comfortable.
