Great Idea for Knitters!

I just have to pass this along! Several of us About.com Guides were chatting via email, and someone mentioned how their husband didn't understand the desire to knit socks...since they'd be hidden by boots or shoes anyway. Another Guide chimed in with this lovely answer:

"What you need is a pair of clear wellington boots! At a fiber festival I went to a couple of years ago there was a stall selling clear boots which showed off nicely a pair of handknitted socks. They did a storming trade, but I don't think the idea caught on, as I did a google search this morning and can't find anything like it - which is a shame (but perhaps a business opportunity...)." --- Kate Pullen, Guide to Rubberstamping

P.S. Kate did find a pair! "Found a pair! - http://www.fleming.flump.net/~webofwoo/shop/product.php?xProd=320&xSec=36

This is a funny idea too - turn your handknitted sock into a money box http://www.fleming.flump.net/~webofwoo/shop/product.php?xProd=354&xSec=36 "
