I Have (Demi) Divine Socks!

Ok I am a little slow in chiming in It has been a long weekend. Billy placed 3rd in Roping and 3rd in Mutton Busting, Won 16 bucks. Since it was the finals, he also placed 5th all around for the year. He got a Hat, T shirt, and a new rope. It has been a fun year for him, and we will do it again next year.

Sunday I took him and his brother and sister to the Polar Express in Williams Az...It was frigged cold, but they all had new jammies and new jackets.

It turned real cold here the last two days, and in addition to my carhart coverhalls, my feet were warm and toasty in my socks.
Notice the word WAS. You see we had gotten back from town with a load of hay, I sent BIlly in after chores and told him to get his pj's on. This is what I saw when I came in after unloading....

Here is the gang from Yesterday

awww.. he's adorable. The socks are great.. i love the colors.

LOL

What a cute bunch, MissJestr, and how adorable of Billy! Congratulations to him on such a great season, too! The Demi Divine Socks continue to spread their warmth and cheer ....

Congrats to Billy! He sure is a cutey. I love 'his' socks....lol.

hi
i love thought sock and hat
please put down how to make them
so i can make some for my lady in the home elle

I have started crocheting my first sock. I will say this that first round almost did me in-a very strange stitch. Working on the second rounds at the rate I am going I may be finished the first sock sometime next year. LOL

Will take pictures when it get bigger. I also now know why socks are usually multi colored. Much easier to figure out where you are.

Wren you GO GIRL! I haven't started my crochetty sockie yet. If it's too confusing I might just make one and hop alot more.

Well once I did the cuff stitch ten zillion times I get it down pat and was ok. But it is a little strange and the sock yarn that I sound is close to the crochet thread than yarn and sense my vision is not great was hard to see.

working on the 3rd round now.

Just popping in to say My toes are warm and comfy with the temps dipping down to 30's at night... I sleep in my divine footwear. I bought Billy a pair of hunting socks, and he wears them when I put mine on... They go half up his legs, but he thinks they are cool...

It's Divine Sock weather here too. I think my feet are the warmest part when they're in their special socks.

I am so glad that the socks are working....Now did you know that you can use the AC adapter on your computer as a bed warmer?

I am sure it is a really stupid thing to do....but so green that I am willing to make the sacrifice. That's right--I am sitting in bed with the AC adapter in my lap under the covers....who needs central heating?

Learn something new every day!

ouch! my AC adapter will actually burn u if you touch it for too long..

Not mine--it just gets very warm...lovely.

I ware my socks at night too-they have been wonderful as they do not put pressure on my bad ankle. Get a bad case of tendinitis in it again.

Still working on learning to crochet socks-had to start over with a different yarn as the one I started with had to much dark areas and I could not see the stitches in the dark areas.

I looooooove my divine socks. I wear them often in the evening after getting home from work, once I change into my pajamas, which is so often the case by about 7 pm, and then I have warm tootsies all evening. Yay!

The AC adapter point is interesting. Perhaps it would make a good chicken warmer too.

LOL I am thinking that we are a crafty bunch here if we are looking into using the Adapter for a heater, I am thinking my laptop gives off enough heat to keep my knees warm
Good Idea Catscan

I ment to add,
Catscan you should be proud, people all around the US are wearing lovely Divine socks and are so thankful of your talents, I know I am one that could just huggggggg you for my warm and toasty toes..My Feet personally say a big thanks to you when they get encased in the warm and fuzzy yarn... .

You are so welcome...I hate cold feet.

Oh, yes MissJestr! The laptop is nice and cozy-making too. I wonder if you got in a nice big cardboard box and hung a 100 watt light bulb in there, if it would keep you warm?

Grownut can use a rock cause she lives in a warmer climate.

Yesterday I was looking at a 250 watt ceramic bulb for chicken coop heat - no glass, no bulb filaments - it's not for light, just for heat. I might invest in one.

I have it on good authority that Fran has organized an official sulk over the matter of scarves. I can do scarves, but not in a hurry, being a slow knitter, and midst exams....apparently she has sucked MissJ and greykyttyn into her sulking team. We may have a mutiny here...not sure if Grow is in or not...she might not wear scarves, you know her sock aversion and all....

I was looking at the ceramic bulbs too--they sell them for reptiles at the local pet store. But they are pricey--like $30 for the bulb itself and more for the holder/receptacle. The advantage would be that the chicks would have natural light cycles--which is suppose to be very good for them, especially the pullets.

Never, ever use "black light bulbs"...I semi blinded some chicks with them. Although there are apparently some that are safer...I just would never risk it again.

I was thinking of it for my brooder box (which see), which is in the barn, but it doesn't have any light in the daytime, being a box sort of thing, so I would use both a light and the ceramic thingy, but the light could be a low wattage one.

I can't believe, Catsy, that you had no comment on the recommencement of sulking...

The top has little liftable lids for water and food entry.

I am not, by nature, particularly sulky.

Scarves are a serious commitment...have you started them yet, Moxie? I don't think law school exams exempt you from coaxing your fellow DGer's from their sulky excesses. Although, I suspect they have by now lost the instructions to the Golden Flan, and so will soon weaken...they might settle for mufflers.

What is a scarf and why would you need one-for that matter what is snow??? LOL

Wren, you would need a scarf even in semi-tropical Florida as a fashion statement, à la française, so you needn't get uppity on us! I have a whole wardrobe of them and will definitely participate in any scarf sulks which happen to be occurring on this illustrious forum. E'en now, seated at my trusty iMac (which is on a desktop, not my lap) I have a scarf wrapped around my neck whilst waiting for the woodstove to make a dent in the chilly morning temperatures. A lovely fuzzy scarf makes chicken-tending chores in frosty weather a breeze...

Where is the Scarf Sulk and how may I join, O Fran?

As my fashion sense never shown up, I can not make a statement with it. I hate to dress up.

My feet are always cold so that is the only part of my that might be in fashion. LOL

The scarf sulk appears to be occurring on Facebook. I am not sure if Fran has seen this thread.

I think that the exams are a reasonable excuse because otherwise the dreadful stress might cause me to drop too many stitches. I should think that keyhole scarves might do the trick. But now Fran says she doesn't have socks either. There is a multitude of sulkitude occurring.

(now nobody said they liked my brooder box...)

Oh I never will loose the recipe for Flan..... It is taped to my fridge....It is a great addition to my recipie box as well, someday someone will stumble on the box and scratch their heads cause the offical title it Divine Moxon Flan

ROTFL....Divine Moxon Flan....that is too funny, I am laughing til my sides hurt! You crack me up Roseane - I need that in this study time!!

Look out Wren! It is snowing here - almost unheard of - Divine Socks hard at work.

Moxon the brooder is a definite upgrade over my Rubbermaid crates, but I need more pictuers I can't really visualize it in its entirety.( The expression on the chicks' faces is great.)

Its snowing here too, but the only thing weird about that is that its the first snow this year and its a good month late! LOL, you guys crack me up!

I used to live in the north - I MOVED. It isn't supposed to snow on me any more.

I'm totally with you on that one Porkpal.....one day I will live somewhere with no snow, no cold winter winds, no chickens wintering in the kitchen cuz the coops are too cold, no need for scarves and divine socks.......

porkpal--who told you it didn't get cold in Texas? It freezes in Texas, they have catastrophic ice storms in Texas...The Blue Northers come down and drop the temps by 30 degrees in an hour....and they don't build for it. Some of the coldest winters in my life were in Texas...come to think of it, some of the coldest summers were too...Everything was airconditoned.

Yes, that's why we lucky ones have Divine Socks!

The air conditioning here is ridiculous. It is often colder inside in the summer than outside in the winter!

The socks are nice! I love the colors. The hats are nice too.

I can't believe how big this thread about socks is!!!

Well I will be honest it does get cold here, but it rarely stays cold long. It is not unheard of it being freezing in the morning and back up in the upper 70's in the afternoon. Last year was the coldest winter we have had in a long time. And it has only snowed enough for us to see it twice in my almost 60 years-well there was also one great freeze, lots of wrecks as no one down here knows how to drive on ice.
