Hand knitted socks are something our family love! All my girls have wool socks to wear in boots when going out in winter. When we have to wait until our central heating heats up the house, wool socks are just in time! 
My mom makes all our wool socks! More than 20 pairs per year!!! Starting with socks that are more like slippers till socks that are delicate lace for special occasions. 
It’s time to offer such beauty to the world! Now I need to convince my mom and open an Etsy shop 🙂

I haven’t worn such things since I was a child, made by my mother. But if your mother does make them for sale she will have an order from me, for ‘house socks’.

How beautiful. My mother in law used to knit socks for all the family. They lasted for years and were so comfortable. All the best. Karen

My grandma used to make us each a pair of socks for Christmas. I have tried to keep up the tradition by making a pair of socks for each birthday. There is NOTHING like homemade wool socks!

Thank you. Not anyone can afford it. But I guess everyone can make it, if they really want.

I’ve started knitting again after nearly 40 (!!!) years and really enjoying it. My partner has asked me to knit him some socks. My first reaction was ‘you’re kidding me’, but your post has inspired me!
