FO report

yet another belated FO report


these are the twisted rib socks that i made on my trip to texas to visit dad and family over christmas holiday. i never got around to posting a photo, actualy never gotto take the photo til a couple days ago. i wore them once, tossed them into the laundry pile and when the wash was done there was only one sock i was so upset. see the washer sometimes steals things i'm convinced of it. but i finaly did find the second sock. whew. way worse than second sock syndrome, it would have been third socksyndrome!!!

so here they are
sockotta sock yarn
knit on 2 circs (addi #1)
i used the hourglass heel and made up the rest!!!

Sorry you have to rip out your mom's sweater. It looks great. Those socks look good too.

What nice socks! Don't worry, I'll be dropping by occasionally give you a little teaser about your socks. I'm trying to decide now on color ... too many lovely colors and types of yarn to choose from.

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
