first, the name silverspun
makes me think of spinning a tale
which means i’m going to begin like this…
once upon a time
there was a girl (that’s me)
whose feet were almost always cold.
even in the heat of flip-flop season, her piggies could get icy.
then one day, this girl (still me)
saw these snazzy flip-flops with built in coziness.
‘whoa’, she thought, ‘those are just what i need, except…
being a mama, she wondered…
how will i wash them clean?’
so she thought, and she thought, and she thought some more
until she realized that she could knit up her own.
yup, sometimes she can miss the obvious.
when she met up with silverspun for the first time,
she knew, ‘this is the yarn for these.’
the feel good yarn company graciously agreed
and the kinston yoga socks were born.
although, truth be told,
i’ve, i mean she’s, never done yoga and has packed her pair
(along with a couple of pair of flip-flops)
for the maine beach town that is calling her name.
more pics on that when i finish packing
and finally get there…
I like this idea! I knit flipflop socks years ago, the short kind that fit under the straps. These ones look great! But aren’t your toes still cold??? LOL
too funny, and you’re right. sometimes my toes can get a little cold. then i go for the birks and full socks. but it is almost august, you know, so i’ve just got to wear my flip flops a little this year. smile.
