yarn gift

My s.o. gave me yarn for my birthday! How exciting. Yarn and sock/slipper patterns. The thing is that 3 skeins out of the 6 are homespun. Which I am not familiar with at all. So the other night I break out a skein and try to start a sock pattern. Bad news all over! I like the feel, but socks will not be made with this yarn! Nope, uh-huh, no way! Perhaps a granny square afghan instead.

But it was so sweet a thought!
