Everyone who knows Elise knows that she is a big old wooly girl, especially if the “wool” happens to be alpaca. What fewer people know is that in the private of her knitting sanctuary (also known as her bed), Elise knits socks. Now she may not be the most prolific sock knitter, but she certainly knows her way around a heel. Her favorite sock yarn is Supersock. Many folks ask why and as usual, when it comes to favorites, the answer is purely based on emotion. It feels great, knits like a dream and has the best twist. It knits up into a cutie baby sweater. This leads to all possibilities…. Sweaters…… blankets….. gloves…….
