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.

knitting updates

ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...
