After presenting my grand idea of bed socks, I now had the problem of finding both knitting needles and wool. One shop had 9 pairs of needles in the size that I wanted ( I needed 8 pairs) - and very few other knitting needles, and another shop had fairly reasonably priced wool in lovely bright colours.
The Jamestown BWA ladies also agreed to the idea of the "love boxes" and the knitting of bed socks. So I got them started with the knitting while I went through the short Bible study.
BUT
a problem arose.
I went ahead knitting as fast as I could in order to make sure that I could help anyone who struggled with the pattern. Well, it turned out that the resulting sock would only fit a short, stumpy foot. So I had to try and work out where to change the pattern, and start again. Luckily, my second attempt, with an adjusted pattern, fitted my foot nicely, with room to stretch if need be.
