Little Socks

When I knit a pair of socks, I have two small balls of yarn left over. I use short bamboo needles, usually US#1, to knit these bitty socks. The teeny needles and a little ball of yarn tuck into a corner of my handbag. The little needles look like pick up sticks, don't they?

Like most knitters, I can be pretty fanatic about having a knitting project with me all the time. These little socks are starting to pile up and will come in handy (a socks-only Christmas tree? a holiday swag with little mittens and little socks?) as the collection builds.
