This weekend Brenda went shopping for Grey Heron. - a fine job was done!! One item on my list was a fabulous Heel cream manufactured by SOAK. I've tried and it's wonderful... leaves your heels feeling refreshed, soft, not greasy - just ready for your hand knit socks... speaking of socks.... $10.00 Kate Atherley AKA Wise Hilda blogger designed the red & white striped sock for the latest Vogue magazine. She was so kind to post the free sock pattern on her blog... http://wisehilda.blogspot.com/2011/08/free-peppermint-twist-sock-pattern.html Do take the time to read her blog. As I say "it's all about the math" read her blog- she says the same... BTW- this sock pattern covers off size women's S to men's XL... Send Kate a quick message thanking her for the download...
