Like clockwork, my winter blahs have arrived this week with a vengeance. I've been trying to ignore the signs (exhaustion, feeling run down and a general apathetic malaise) for a while but I'm too shattered to fake it anymore. I've given in and have succumbed to putting my PJs on as soon as dinner's done, watching crap tv on the couch and early nights. I know it will pass quickly but for the next few weeks I'll be in hibernation mode.
The upside of all this feeling rather sorry for myself is that sock knitting is turning out to be very theraputic and good for the soul. I've already cast on the next pair...
Good for the 'sole' too. Lovely socks - get well soon

I hope you find a little sunshine to warm you, although I'm certain your toes will be toasty.

It is exactly how I've been feeling - these past few weeks have felt like an uphill drag.
Love socks by the way,

I totally recognise that feeling and once supper is done I snuggle up on the sofa with some knitting or crochet every evening wihout fail. Your socks are fabulous.

Never underestimate the medicinal powers of crafting! Gorgeous socks - and you're not the only one who gets bogged down by winter.

Hope your spirits are lifted soon. By the way can I ask what brand of wool you've used for those socks as I love the stripey effect?! Just my luck that you prob can't get it this side of the 'pond' though!

I've just googled it - the brand is Fortissima.

Oh, how can you feel blah when the weather is finally cooling down? Despite feeling a little grouchy at the lack of Autumnal beauty around here, I still get all excited about dragging the jeans out of the closet. Finally we have had a soccer game that wasn't played in sweltering heat...

I am with you all the way here. I've been feeling it a little too - just looking at your socks is lovely though. What seriously cheerful, therapeutic colours. I'm hatching a plan to blog and collate colourful images this winter as a way to fend off the effects of grey skies.

Sock knitting is essential for fighting the blahs and those lovely cheery socks of yours should definitely help :o)
