Actually, I bead. Lane stitch (AKA Lazy Stitch) in both Sioux and Cheyenne style, gourd stitch, and applique. The wife does the knitting, though if I bemoan the speed of her making socks one more time, I've been told that I'll be knitting them myself.

Nothing in the world is better than hand knit socks, let me tell ya.

Is there any way I can get any sock patterns? I'm taking up knitting after many years...

PS I saw a photo years ago of about two dozen Hawaiian policemen sitting in two rows, with knitting sturdily in hands. These men looked to be averaging way over 6 feet tall and at least 250 pounds. The opposite of sissies. It was circa WWI, they may have been doing some kind of war effort.
