mega boots stretch that is.
check out my yarny mousey!

isn't he twee!

ok i've officially lost my mind.
but
that is ok.
right?
no reason to panic.
pair number 3 on the needles right now is obviously not getting the love numbers 1 and 2 are. sorry mousey.
but thats kinda how i feel about the socks.
the yarn halos.
it's soft and is squishy.
don't get me wrong they're knitting up into beautiful socks.
just not fabulous.
not wonderful.
just socks.

i'm using a variation on the lacy scallop sock stitch pattern that i used for my sockpaloooza socks.
i figured it would do the blues justice.
kinda look like waves?
yes no?
i need some opinions here.
i hated to go with straight stockinette because well it would bore me to tears but honestly.
what do you think?
do i frog?

oh and i've just realized...there are 2 more pair of socks i forgot to mention...we're extending the series for 2 more episodes people!

post edit:
sigh. jsut wasn't loving these they've been sent to the frog pond! not the one out back (yes, we actually have a pond with frogs) but hback to the stash to wait for the proper pattern and time

hogwarts sock swap (year 1)

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...
