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.
