Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! We are grateful to all our customers who supports our small business.

A toast to all of you for a Happy Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful time with your families this Thursday!

What can fit in our unlined crochet tote bag

I had a very reasonable question this morning regarding things which could fit in our unlined crochet tote bag: a beach towel, water bottle, wallet and a book at the same time and will still keep the bag cute.

So I did a little test for a customer and decided to share it with you. Here is the original listing of lightly filled bag (turquoise, 100% cotton yarn, no lining):

The photos below are of the same crochet bag filled with the 4 items that have a combined weight of 3lbs 6oz:

What's inside:

1. a thin beach towel 53" by 27",

2. a standard water bottle 16.9 fl oz/ 500ml,

3. a paperback book about 8"x5"1", 285 pages

4. a large wallet.

There is still room for some more.

The crochet tote pictured above is about 23 1/2" tall from the top of the handle to the bottom of the bag and the tote's body is about 13" tall and 13" wide (when it lays flat). 

This and other totes can be found at www.socksandmittens.etsy.com.

Hygge

It's a middle of calendar winter. We are lucky to live in a warm climate but I remember those times when you just want to crawl under the blanket with a good book to read and a cup of tea.

Despite the warmer weather, I am still cold when the sun goes down. I love my warm clothing and my absolute favorites to stay warm at home is a knit socks and an oversized sweater. What's yours?

Oh, and by the way, it is a winter clearance sale in my shop, 25% off on selected items. Stop by to see if you'd like anything, socksandmittens on etsy. This sale will last until January 31st, 2019.

How to measure your feet for a custom pair of socks

There is nothing like a good pair of socks in winter. The chunkier ones are perfect to wear around home or garden and the finer socks are perfect for everyday wear in your shoes.

We have lots of ready-to-purchase knitted yoga, bed socks and knee-high socks at our shop on etsy ( socksandmittens ). If you don't see your size or desired color, we will be glad to make a custom pair for you. The price on custom orders will depend on chosen type of yarn and size of the finished product. The regular order completion time is 3 to 4 days but it might take longer November through December due to the high volume of custom orders.

* If you'd like us to knit you a pair of custom size bed socks for you, we will need 3 of your measurements, the length of the foot and the circumference of the foot and ankle.

 

1. To measure the total length of your foot: place a yard stick/ tape measure on the floor. Position the back of the heel at the zero mark on the stick/tape, then measure to the longest toe.

2. For the foot measurement: step on a piece of string, wrap it around your widest foot's part and then lay it on a measuring stick to find out the circumference.

3. For the ankle measurement, wrap a string around your ankles where the joints are ( where the bone sticks out). Lay the string on a measuring stick to find out the circumference.

* If you'd like us to make you a below-the-knee socks, we will need 2 more measurements in the addition to 3 above:

 

4. Measure the distance from your ankle to your knee (above the knee cap for thigh high leg warmers, or at the narrowest point just below the knee cap for knee high)

5. Measure the circumference of your calf at it's widest point

* The custom yoga socks are standard in calf length so all we need to know is your shoe size.

 Ready to order? Let us know your numbers and we'll start working on your new socks as soon as possible.
