Christmas in July

One of our great customers, Debbie, contacted us recently with an order of man's cable knit socks she would like to give as a gift for Christmas. I love custom orders because this way we know exactly what a customer wants!

We worked on a design for a couple of days and came up with a new one.

We were trying to make our new man's socks look manly but comfortable and nice looking all at the same time. I am lucky to have two male critics in my home, my husband and my son. Everything we create for men to wear are passing their fussy inspection :)

Anyway, the socks came out great and Debbie also liked them. She was also very generous with sharing her Christmas butter ball cookie recipe with me. She is makes them every Christmas. I am very enthusiastic about cooking so of course, I baked them as soon as possible. Mmmm... best cookies ever!


They did not last very long, I baked late in the evening and they were gone the next morning! That's what cookies are for, right? :) Definitely a keeper recipe!


Thank you so much, Debbie, for your order, for the recipe and for making me feel like it's Christmas!
