A really nice pair for winter. <BR/><BR/>I've got folks like that through my work...they stress me out so much I have to go and do something else for a while. I've also knitted a row or two at a time trying to calm down when they refuse advice...<BR/><BR/>Take a look at Katie Knits in Australia...she has some nice sock yarns through her Live2Knits business!

Warm, soft, just... lovely. Home. Comfy chairs in front of the fire for my feet. And I think I've got three more skeins of Bearfoot in the stash!

I find that stepping away from the phone, the computer, etc., baking some bread, and going back to the knitting can really calm me down after an upsetting work interaction. I'm with you! Also, it all gets put back in context when you take some time away..<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed your 7-up story...because you know, I think we did hear when the pepsi can was punctured.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028506404055347307noreply@blogger.com
