A new project - maybe

 Re the new project - it's a thought that might - or might not - come to pass.  Our #1 son likes weird socks and they're the talk of where he works.  His staff always wants to see what he's wearing (some of you might remember the watermelon socks I made him for last Christmas).  Well, the subject of Mom knitting Spiderman socks for one of his co-workers came up and I promptly shot the idea down because I doubt he would want to pay what they're worth.  That doesn't stop me, however, from trying to make some for our son - just to see if I can.  There are patterns for kids versions but his size 13's are a tad large for that.  So...I might have come up with my own pattern using a cross stitch design for the Spiderman.  Will it work?  Time will tell.  In the meantime, the yarn has arrived.. 

 I don't know if you troll Pinterest as much as I do, but that's where many of the links I find to share with you come from.  It seems that more and more of what I see on there is quite obviously AI and if it's not that the links take you either nowhere or to a commercial site...or to YouTube or to Instagram.  I have nothing against those but I don't make a habit of using them so I don't tend to overly share those sorts of places.  All this to say, it's getting harder to come up with four or five links three times a week and sometimes I might not have as many to share as I usually do.  There's only so many hours in the day to keep searching.   I really wish Pinterest would go back to the way it was in the beginning when it was primarily crafters and artists sharing in an easy format.  

- THIS is a nice idea if you have access to wooden spindles.

- I enjoyed reading THIS article.

- THIS is a nice shawl pattern.

- There are some different ideas HERE for using denim scraps.
