I did not get a new Toast catalog!!! I wonder if I need to re-request one... Although I'm not a big sock knit, those are fabulous. Is everyone having these crappy work experiences?

People really don't understand why we make socks -- I don't even try to explain it anymore. <BR/><BR/>Your socks are beautiful -- I love the pattern. Is koigu yarn machine washable? <BR/><BR/>I love your work stories.
