Socks with a story

I made this for myself

    About

    I work in humanitarian aid, which led to a recent deployment to Poland. I took some yarn without thinking, as I always take some with me when I travel. Of course I had no free time at all and I was working way too much - long hours 7 days a week, so had absolutely no chance to knit. After several weeks of this madness my body just gave up. I was terribly sick for quite a long time and recovery took me ages - when I was finally able to sit in bed, I've started knitting these... long story short, taking care of myself is still not my strongest skill so hopefully these socks will remind me about the importance of being kind to myself.

        @Jacquie W: exactly - its very easy to forget about oneself at times but as you've said, it's very important.
