After all, this is still a knitting blog.

We don’t just bitch about work and give shit away, we actually knit!
Sock one, Jaywalker KAL Pair #3 (Jaywalker Pair #5 total – for those keeping score.) STR Azurite. For Grumpy. As soon as I finished, I immediately (and when I say immediately I actually mean right after I finished) cast on for the second Hard Rock sock. I’m ten repeats in. I think this will be my plan going forward with the jaywalkers and STR. Make one sock, cast on in a new yarn. Make second sock from first yarn, cast on in a new yarn, go back to old color, etc. Works for me. And I seem to actually like the second sock A LOT better when I’ve knit some other color in between. It’s kind of weird that way.
I had a good weekend. I slept A LOT. A LOT. I guess I really needed it. G and I are coming back together – reconnecting after working crazy hours and work dinners and funerals and they’ll be lots of togetherness for the rest of the year. He’s taking off some days at the end of the week and may even do a holiday family thing with me next week and well there’s that Xmas stuff and then BIRTHDAY WEEK! We usually do birthday stuff leading UP to the birthday, instead of the week after. G always takes me out for a special dinner, usually lambchops (read about last year here) and we’ll probably go out, but I said I want lambchops for New Year’s Eve. And instead of champagne I want Moscato d’Asti. So delicious! But still my cherry pie. And a Carvel Ice Cream cake on the actual Birth Day.
So I slept a lot and didn’t get a lot done workwise, of which there is still A LOT to do, but I instead I did something really special for G (and for me.) As soon as he left yesterday for his last work dinner, I went down to storage to bring up these:
I just LOVE my holiday lights. I usually put them up and surprise G – he never helps. It’s my thing. We don’t have a tree – my Jewish guilt won’t let me go that far (but it will let me marry a Greek Orthodox, LOL) but I just love the lights. I mean, c’mon, Chanukah IS the Festival of Lights, right?
Not the best pictures, but in the dining room we have blue lights with twinkling white lights and in the living room we have colored lights with twinkling white lights. And then the clump of lights that hang down in front of the TV. And no, that’s not OPRAH. It was some movie I was watching – The Company. About ballet dancers in Chicago. It was eh. Although I think James Franco is hot.
Looks like Typepad is back up, so I’ll try to update the Jaywalker KAL today or tomorrow. Have a great day!
Thundercrack!

baby’s back.
This time she’ll tell me how she really feels.
This post will have something for everyone! Consider it Random Wednesday. Only it’s Monday.
As I mentioned on Friday, Thanksgiving went really well. The food was great, company better and it all went off without incident. Except for the fact that my sister got a cold Wednesday night and felt miserable all day Thursday, it couldn’t have gone better. My contribution (besides watching the kids off and on all day to keep them out of their mom’s hair and vaccuuming) was a salad. I modeled it after my favorite salad of all time from Gigino’s in NYC. It’s the Peperina salad and I made it with mixed baby lettuces, shaved pear, shaved parmesan, pecans (I thought they used pecans, but I guess they use walnuts) and pomegranate seeds sprinkled with white balsamic vinegar. I was really pleased with how it came out and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
I’ve got no pictures of the kids because I didn’t take my camera with me. I know. Blasphemy. But I’m sick of taking pictures and I’d just download them to the computer and they would sit there. Besides this was a break from photography work and it worked because yesterday I got A LOT of work done and I’m feeling like I’m back on track. At least a little bit. But I got a lot of cuddle time with the kids and they got their new bunk beds which was a trip in and of itself. My nephew ended up sleeping on the bottom bunk and my niece slept with me on the floor. The baby is big as can be – if I could only show you his monster thighs – but he’s so much fun! He giggles nonstop and just smiles so sweet and he’s such a cuddler. This is definitely one of my favorite ages. They’re still babies, but they can engage you in that wide eyed wonderful way. All you have to do is smile and his whole face lights up. I miss them.
I hit the mail jackpot on Friday. Georgie was particularly impressed. I always call him to find out about the mail when I’m away and his standard reply is junk junk and more junk. This time HE called ME. There were lots of lovely thank you cards from all those boxes I sent out the other day – so sweet! An email is plenty, but a card? In the mail? For me? I was really touched. Thank YOU! Vicki‘s card was my favorite – check out this knitted thank you:
I tried to find the card on the artist’s website, but it wasn’t there. Hey Vicki! Where’d you get the card? It’s SO LaPierre!
But what really impressed Georgie was the package from Hong Kong. I got my Crossed In Translation book! Yay! The book is really beautiful – think Rowan meets the House of the Rising Sun. And the freaking pattern is TWO pages. Lucky for us, knitalongers, there’s barely any words to go along with the pattern. It’s all charts and schematics. We should be able to figure this out no problem, right? G-Love thinks I’ve completely lost it. He may be right.
Oh and rest assured, seeing the sweater in it’s native language has only made me love it more.
She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds
Now if only I could stop making socks:
Kaci – this pictures for you! Mwah!
I finished one…
and started another!
For all you Jaywalkers out there, I’m planning on doing an FAQ for this Friday’s update. So if you have questions – let me know in the comments, or in an email. And don’t forget you can always email me or Kathy (who, by the way, is an inspiration to me! First Jaywalker, and now Grumpecue! Kathy, you’re killing me!) Basically everyone seems to have similar issues, so we’ll address them this week. Namely gauge and the bar increases (yes – the holes are supposed to be there! It’s a design thing! 😉 ) But if you’ve got other questions, let me know.
My heart’s wood, she’s a carpenter
She’s an angel in the night, what she does is alright
As much as I love my socks, I’m sort of getting frustrated with myself. It’s like I can’t knit ANYTHING else. I think about all these projects I want to knit – mittens, finish my gloves, work on the Prairie Blanket. I just can’t seem to concentrate. I’m trying to go with the flow like Margene says, but I’m antsy. And this doesn’t just relate to my knitting either – when’s the last time I read a book? Can someone tell me please? How pathetic is that?
We’re not going to even discuss the fact that I just got off the phone with the embryo people – I was late on my payment to keep those totsicles frozen. When’s that shrink appointment again?
Dance with me, partner, dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner, all night
If you’ve got the DVD, make sure you watch the supplemental material on documentary disc. I can’t stop watching Thundercrack. Over and over and over again. It’s simply stunning. D
O IT! WATCH IT NOW! You can thank me later.
An Invitation to ROCK!
November 18, 2005 By
First, let’s get some business out of the way. CONGRATULATIONS JULIA! YOU WIN! Crossed in Translation, a new KAL, will start on January 1. More details, buttons and signups to come soon. Thank you all for voting and for your suggestions!
Okay – onto the REALLY good stuff!
My knitting has been sporadic and directionless in the last couple of weeks – which with all the work I have going on makes for very UN-relaxing knitting. I NEED something. I need to knit and feel progress (since everyday I’m getting more and more bogged down in my work) and right now that can only mean one thing.
I’m casting on for a new pair of Jaywalkers! With Socks that Rock of course!
I love these socks. I wore my Fire on the Mountain socks yesterday and they made me happy all day long. My feet felt great and the pattern is SO comfortable: They stay up. They are nice and tight without being binding. The yarn is so soft and lovely. And I’ve got all this yarn taunting me every time I walk by my living room (because basically there’s yarn all over my living room mixed with A LOT of crap. I promise I’m going to clean up in January. Just let me get to January, okay?)
There’s another reason to start a new pair of Jaywalkers. I’m convinced this is the BEST pattern to use with Socks That Rock. And guess what? With all my screaming and yelling about how amazing STR is, Tina and Kaci over at Blue Moon Fiber Arts contacted me and I might have a job with them!!! How crazy is that? There aren’t many details yet, so don’t ask, but it looks like it’ll involve some writing. The fact that these women are crazy and amazing and recognize something in me doesn’t in any way change my opinion about this yarn. I LOVE it. Almost as much as I love Bruce.
So, because I love the yarn and I love the pattern I want to share it all with you! I’m starting a Jaywalker Knit A Long right here right now!
The rules:
1. Knit a pair (or more – hey – I’m going to start my THIRD!) of Jaywalker socks. I know a lot of you have already started a pair – and that counts. But if you’ve finished a pair already, that doesn’t count. Instead, go on over to Kathy‘s and let her know. She’ll add you to the gallery.
2. You don’t have to adhere strictly to the pattern, so all you Drunken Jaywalker people (you know who you are!) come on over.
3. The socks don’t have to be for you. I know everyone’s crazy with holiday knitting (Suckers. I’m just saying….) so why not make a pair of Jaywalkers for that annoying relative in your life? Nothing like a pair of Jaywalker socks to send that subtle message – I wish you’d go play in traffic! You’re the only one who has to know the sentiment behind the gift! 😉
4. You don’t have to knit the socks with SOCKS THAT ROCK yarn – use whatever yarn you like. BUT the prizes will be Socks That Rock.
5. There are no deadlines on when this KAL will end, BUT
6. On February 14th I will draw three names out of the proverbial Internet hat of all the FINISHED KAL socks and each of these people will WIN a skein of SOCKS THAT ROCK in their preferred colorway. That is, assuming I can get Tina to dye it for you. I won’t tell you how many colors are in the recipe book – your head will spin around. To be eligible to win the socks, you will have had to give me at least ONE update before February 1st. I want you to really be in it to win it you know? No pulling in at the last minute with a finished pair of socks to get in on the lottery. 😉
7. Updates will be on FRIDAYS. So leave me comment or email me and I’ll do the updates then. K? Terrific!
Are you in? Leave a comment. And if anyone wants to make me a button – I would greatly appreciate it. I’m thinking something with a traffic sign motif. But you all can run with it. THANK YOU!
Now. I need some help. I’ve got all this Socks That Rock and I can’t decide which color my new socks should be! Here are the choices I’ve got:
AZURITE
PETROGLYPHS
HARD ROCK
CARBON
Vote early. Vote often. I want to cast on for these socks five minutes ago, you know? So I’ll go with what I get by Saturday night. Or maybe sooner. And I’m not guaranteeing I go with your choice, I’m just looking for opinions. Thank you very much!
C’mon PEOPLE! LET’S ROCK!
PS – I’ve got to give credit where credit is due. The KAL idea came from Moth Heaven Julia. She was making fun of me for starting the (not necessarily) impossible Crossed in Translation KAL and said I should’ve gone with a Jaywalker KAL. Hmmm. Good idea! Thanks!
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
November 7, 2005 By
And I knew without asking she was into the blues
She wore Fire on the Mountain Socks That Rock
I knew right away she was not like other girls
Other girls.
I’ve been listening to The Dead all morning, and to be honest, I forgot how much I really enjoy them. I’ve been dancing around in my seat letting the arms fly. Of course, I’m wearing my socks. Tina – you are my HERO! I know I’ve gone off before about Socks That Rock and I may be sounding like a broken record, but this is my favorite yarn. Tina – YOU ROCK! (Warning – copious amounts of sock pictures to follow.)
That should do it, no? Jaywalker pattern by Grumperina. Socks That Rock in Fire on the Mountain. Size #1 Addis. PERFECTION.
It was a hard weekend. Meaning, I worked really, really hard. Three shoots – five kids. Now I’ll be strapped to my computer until the next shoot next Saturday. I’ll be so happy when it’s January. Don’t get me wrong – I love what I do and am extremely lucky that this endeavor seems to be working out, but it’s hard with a seasonal business. You get a couple of jobs sprinkled over a month or two and then BAM. Nonstop work. Like I said, I’m really happy about it – just tired.
What’s up next knitting wise? Well since Baby Xavier is here, I better get cranking on his Prairie Blanket. Sorry baby! I promise you’ll have it before it gets warm. Or cold. But not before it gets warm AGAIN. What is up with this weather?!
I need mittens – I want cozy warm handspun mittens from some of the stuff I bought at Rhinebeck. Then I read Nona’s tutorial on i-cord finger gloves and by golly – I know EXACTLY the koigu to use for gloves.
And I have to start a pair of angel socks for the Sockapaltwoza. Weird things happened there with my own angel, but I’m not going to blog about it – let’s just say the effort was underwhelming in the least. I know they’re angel socks, but c’mon. Again, I want to thank Alison for all she did with this knit-along. By almost all accounts it was delightful. And I will be signing up for the next one. Anyway – I’ve got to make angel socks and I think I’m going to do the Go With The Flow sock pattern from IK Summer ’05. I searched the blogs for info on these socks and it seems the consensus is they’re a bit small knitted as written. I will be using the specified yarn (coincidence) but I’d love to hear if anyone made these and had size issues. Right now the plan is to add one extra pattern repeat. Maybe I’ll cast on today.
And the Vesper Yarn is calling me like an obnoxious man with a bullhorn. I HEAR YOU! I may wind it up today. You know, just to touch it a lot. I’ve decided that I will be doing a few rows on the Sunshine Socks every day BEFORE I’m allowed to knit anything else. I want those fuckers finished. If I can make two pair of Jaywalker socks in about three weeks time, I can make a stupid st st sock in a week. Just because I’m so not liking the yarn is no excuse. Besides, I want a month’s worth of socks like Margene!
Question for you all (actually I have two today) – what shoes do you wear to show off your socks? I need some new shoes and I want them comfortable (I generally live in my Merrells) and I want them open a little bit (preferably slip ons) so that my fantastic socks show through. Any and all suggestions welcome.
And my second question? Well, I’m so sad to report that my Almost Everyday Cardigan is pilling horribly. I have one of those stone things and I tried to use it but I’m afraid it made the situation worse. Please help me. I want to LIVE in this sweater – and it’s crazy pilling. Georgie got in the car after the last time I wore it and asked me if I was shedding. I had been pulling off the pills while I was driving and there was a nice little pile of red yarn left for him. Not fun.
Thanks for all the encouragement to run on Friday – I DID! And I’m off to run again now. I leave you with this –
If the Socks Are A Rockin’, Don’t Come Knockin’
November 3, 2005 By
Introducing Rock Star’s hippie cousin:
This sock is all about the love and while it still ROCKS, it does in a DUUUUDE, catch my trail kind of way. Its mate has already been started. Maybe a finished pair by next Monday.
I’m feeling really bad about all the Jaywalker‘s I’m seeing out and about in blogland. Seems many, many people are having problems with gauge. This makes me sad because I’m at the point where I cast on my 76 stitches and rock out. No issues whatsoever. I’m using Addi size #1s. Two circs. I think I might have knit a bit tight on this third sock because my scale’s telling me I’ve got 2oz left to start the second sock. I started out with the same 3.8 oz as the ROCK STAR pair and by the time I got to the second one on that pair I had 1.9 oz left. No biggie. Just a little more wiggle room. Anyway – I’m hoping people can work out their issues with the pattern because I really, really love it. Something about it goes so fast for me. Maybe because I’ve got all the measurements in my head (like 25 repeats before the heel; 57 before the toe) so I know exactly where I am at all times and how much I have left. And, still, I’m LOVING this yarn. I think I want to get two skeins of Fire on the Mountain so I can make extra long socks. I think the natural pooling in the stockinette is really nice. I’d like to see it run free on some knee highs.
Speaking of SOCKS THAT ROCK – JANET rocks. She won the blogiversary grand prize – a pair of socks, knit by moi, in her choice of SOCKS THAT ROCK colorways. Toni’s out of stock, ahem, right now, but Janet – let me know what you want and your size (fingers crossed for small feet) and I’ll get started, oh I don’t know – how’s January sound? Things should be pretty slow by then. 😉
And Wendy wins the runner-up prize. She’ll get some SOCKS THAT ROCK – but she’ll have to knit it up herself. Wendy wins because I liked her birthday present suggestion the best. A tiara. You know what? She’s absolutely right. I wouldn’t have considered myself a tiara kind of girl, but after wearing Charlotte’s Butterfly Princess Tiara at various times on Halloween, I’m saying YES! Bring on the diamonds! Every girl needs some sparkle in her life, no? (Although Mason Dixon Ann almost won with her suggestion of pillows. I could use some new pillows Ann, so feel free! And I also need liked Patti‘s suggestion of a year of housecleaning.)
All the rest of you should worry not. I will most likely be buying myself a wheel and Georgie’s got the whole Bruce thing covered. He let me know the other day that we’ll be going to see him on November 18th. Look for the hyperventilating to begin around the 10th.
So Janet and Wendy – congratulations and send me your addresses. And then go back and read yesterday’s post. HAHAHAHA! I’m pathetic.
When I made my startling confession to being a deadhead, some of you questioned my mention of “the one.” I just love how you all leaped to Georgie’s defense. So sweet. Have no fear – if you read carefully I put “the one” in quotations marks – clearly demarcating that even though this was a “the one” it wasn’t THE the one! Georgie is THE THE ONE. The one and only. As in She’s The One. “The One” is the guy I gave that very special gift that you only give once – in a basement rec room with Light My Fire playing in the background. I shit you not. Ahhh. Special Memories. All I have to say is that he was no Steve Lapierre. Of that I’m sure. 😉
Oh yeah. In the interest of full disclosure I bought some more yarn. Sock yarn at that. Someone stop me.
Pretty purply Koigu. Couldn’t resist.
Long coveted Vesper Sock Yarn. Enough said.
Have a great day!

Fire on the Mountain
October 28, 2005 By
Oops. I did it again. I couldn’t help myself. Really. I swear.
Blame it on Sandra. I was wandering blogland and came across her (attempted) Jaywalker socks in the Fire on the Mountain SOCKS THAT ROCK colorway. I thought they were looking mighty fine, but apparently Sandra’s are way too big. Then I remembered! I had picked up the same colorway at Rhinebeck! ( No “which colorway DIDN’T she get comments” please.) So I cast on. I couldn’t help myself. Things are going swimmingly! I swear these socks are fast. I managed 15 repeats last night – ten more before I start the heel. Finished sock by the end of the weekend, I’m guessing (hoping.)
Know why I picked the Fire on the Mountain colorway?
Cause I used to be a deadhead, that’s why. Surprised? It was a high school thing. And a boyfriend thing to be honest. I’ve never been one to find music on my own. I always find them through other people (mostly guys with whom I’m somehow involved.) You all know Georgie gave me Bruce. My first boyfriend gave me Earth, Wind & Fire. My best friend in high school (a guy) gave me Steely Dan. The “one” gave me the Dead. 😉
I’ve been to a few Dead Shows (and managed to stay sober throughout. HONEST! I did NOT inhale!) When I saw them later on they were really awful – maybe around 93? 94? But when I saw them in ’86 they were amazing. AMAZING. I’ll never forget it. The best part, though, was that my baby sister was four at the time and we used to listen to the Dead together in my basement turned bedroom. We’d dance and sway and she wanted to go with me to the concerts. But my parents wouldn’t let her (which was really, really smart.) I did bring her home a souvenir though – a tie-dye with a huge skull on the front that she proudly wore to preschool. I think they made her take it off because she was scaring the other kids. Way to go sis!
So I think I’ll knit on these socks with a little Jerry and the boys on in the background. R.I.P.
You all think you’re worth so much? How about sharing the wealth!
My blog is worth $0.00.
How much is your blog worth?
How pathetic is that? HAHAHAHAHA!
Thanks for all the BLOGIVERSARY wishes! MWAH!
ETA: Letitia, honey, maybe YOU should read one of your books. It’s bad manners not to leave a real email address. And just for that, you’re not getting SOCKS! Thanks for stopping by though.
A-a-a-CHOO! Snooort. Cough, Cough.
October 26, 2005 By
Ah. The soundtrack of my life. I’m sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. I’m kind of a rotten sick person. I expect to be waited on hand and foot and I complain and whine a lot. I think because, secretly, I’m excited to actually HAVE something to complain about. Something tangible like snot running down your face. Like your teeth itching so bad they hurt. Like a drippy eye. You know what I’m talking about.
See that? That’s the couch. That’s where I slept last night. Believe it or not it was more comfortable than my superfantasticsuperdeluxesuperspecial bed. Now, I think, you know how really sick I am. Thankfully TCM is showing Alfred Hitchcock this week. I watched Notorious last night, and then Rebecca came on, my all time FAVORITE! And after that Suspicion. I taped Rebecca and Suspicion. Gotta look and see what’s on tap for tonight.
Want to know what a selfish knitter I am? I’m already on record saying I don’t knit no holiday gifts. If I decide to knit something for you, I decide what you get when you get it. That’s it. End of story. BUT, I so enjoyed knitting my sockapal2za socks that I volunteered to be an angel. I received my new sock pal’s name the other day and high on the ROCK STAR socks, I thought I’d hit the Socks That Rock yarn for my pal.
You see, there was a skank in there that I was pretty perplexed about. Azurite. Muted colors – lavenders, purples, grays. I honestly don’t remember how it got in there. I can’t see myself picking it. It’s not really something I would normally go for – but there it was. Perfect, I thought! My sock pal can have some Socks That Rock as well!
And then I wound the sucker up. And created a nice big tangle in the process. Well, let me tell you, after handling this yarn and looking at it all wound up there ain’t no way I’m giving it away. NO WAY no how. It’ beautiful.
The picture doesn’t do it justice. But more than the colors, the feel of this yarn is truly spectacular. You know those rumors about how Koigu and Cherry Tree Hill are really Gems Opal, just with different dye jobs? I had heard the same about STR. But I think NOT. As soft and nice as Koigu and CTH and even Gems Opal are, STR is like SILK compared to them. Silk. I shit you not.
Because I’m a selfish knitter, my sock pal will be getting some nice blue Cherry Tree Hill that I’ve got in the stash. I’m thinking some simple (yet elegant) garter rib socks from the Sensational Sock book. That’s the plan anyhow.
Oh and I want to cast on for mittens. Mittens are calling me.
I’ve got a busy night tonight. First on tap, the KnitLit3 reading. I’m not going to be able to stay until the bitter end, but I’ll be there. I have to dash over the the theatre, dahling, for an evening of singing and dances and witches. We’re going to see Wicked. Someone cast a spell on me please and take my cold away? Please?
Oh and if you see me tonight, I’ll be wearing the ROCK STAR socks and I would think very kindly of you if you would only refrain from telling me that my nose actually matches my socks.
Rock Star Socks
October 25, 2005 By
Let’s play that game – which ROCK STAR do you feel like today? I’m going with Keith Richards. Ugly. Curmudgeonly. Looking like death warmed over. Yeah. I went to bed with that tickle of doom in the back of my throat and woke up with a Ring of Fire. Give me stuffed nostrils and piles of snot filled tissues anyday – there is NOTHING I hate more than a sore throat. WWND?
The night wasn’t all bad though because I did have a dream about Springsteen. I was climbing up the stairs to my seat at a concert, but he was at the top of the stairs. I, of course, was moaning over and over again “I love him. I love him.” and when I got to the top of the stairs I was all like Hey Bruce what’s up and he gave me the jive handshake and said “Hey, how come you never sent me some of the flower cards?” And I was like, “You WANTED me to send you flower cards?” And he said, “Yeah. We’re redecorating the house and Stephanie wanted to see them.” I don’t think much more needs to be stated here, do you? Well, except that in my dreams Bruce and I have a long-running does he really know me kind of relationship. He always seems like he remembers me from the last concert, but I’m always surprised.
Anyway, so I woke up knowing full well my public awaits the unveiling of THE SOCKS. But, my throat is BURNING and I’m feeling all this pressure from the link (Hey all you new readers! Welcome to my blog!) and the weather SUCKS and the light is bad and I’m supposed to be photographer girl and all but I so don’t feel like taking pictures and then I hop on over to Grumperina where she has knit the most beautiful pair of socks for her grandma and has taken even prettier pictures. My loser-meter just exploded.
So then I thought, do I really need to take pictures? I’m sick. I have to go out in this world-ending NorEaster (notice how EASTER is in the name of the storm? Biblical proportions anyone?) to get my hair done. That’s right. My hair. I’ve needed a dye job for like two months and the roots are down to my knees and it’s long and greasy but do I really care about my hair when it’s just going to get all wet after spending a million dollars? NO. But I can’t disappoint. I really can’t.
Details:
SOCKS THAT ROCK, ROCK STAR colorway
Jaywalker pattern by Grumperina
Addi US #1s, two circulars
6″ cuff, 9.5″ foot
The only places I went off the pattern were dividing for the heel (because of the 2 circs) and the toe decreases. I was too lazy to figure out the place of the first decreases for the toe because of the whole dpn to 2 circ thing, so I just started decreasing. I LOVE this pattern. I love the fabric it creates. I love the look of it. I’m normally a non-chevron kind of girl – I hate the whole feather and fan thing – but this works for me. It’s tailored, but zippy. And it shows off the colorway so well. Thanks Kathy for a great pattern! I will for sure be using it again.
The yarn. Really, I think the socks speak for themselves. At a high-octane, punk, mosh pit kind of level.
Thanks to EVERYONE for hanging in there with me while I bit my nails to the quick about the yarn sitch. There was a point in the toe decreases that I was SURE I wasn’t going to have enough, and then suddenly it became clear that I wasn’t THAT close. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed it wasn’t more dramatic. I actually had to cut the yarn to do the kitchener.
Like I don’t have ENOUGH drama in my life.
Whoa…DUDE, did you see how awesome close that was?*
October 24, 2005 By
DONE!
Socks started Wednesday, October 19th, 6:45.
Pair finished Monday, October 24th, 5:10.
That’s got to be some kind of land speed record, right? Somewhere? Somehow?
Full out photo shoot tomorrow. The light sucks and I’m tired. 😉
*Thanks to Stephanie for the ROCKIN’ Title and for breaking my sitemeter. Whoa…DUDE, did you see how many hits today?!
