The Sock Report
Wed Jul 22 2009

Someone asked about socks.

Well, there are results to report on that front.

The plum socks are finished. I had 'fun' making them. Why fun in quotes? Because sometimes learning a new pattern is only fun in retrospect. During.... well, it's a little tense.  Anyway, here they are:

Kinda wild looking eh?

And here we have the sock construction magic bits:

And here they are on my feetsies.

They fit me....wait for it....

like they were MADE for me!

(I'll try to contain my amazement.)

Yeah, well I AM amazed every time I make a pair of these things. I really am.

And in other sock news. I finished the pair to go with the other pair.

(What are you TALKING about?)

Listen () these are the CRAFTS, try to keep UP.

I am not going to make the last pair with the final combination of colors because I decided to make a log cabin book bag with the leftover yarn instead. It's on the needles now. How many people have a little felted bag that matches their socks, I want to know?

That's rare cool right there.

(I wouldn't be caught dead wearing any of those contraptions.)

Well it's lucky for you that you don't have feet now isn't it?

(A twist of Fate for which I am supremely grateful.)

    Beautifully amazing!!! All of them!
    You did a nice job, very nice job.
    Waaaaaaay cool to have a bag to match your socks.
    Good thinking.
    You could put a sock in ( )'s mouth.
    If he had one.
    Maybe if you made itty bitty ones to fit the ( ) keys that would shut him up.
    Okay. Okay. I'm going now.

    I just love those shoes and socks together! Reminds me of something I would wear. Not that I can make socks, of course. But I could tie-dye them!

    ( ) may not have feet, but he does have curved brackets. I'll bet tube socks would work.

    The purple yarn ended up looking just right with your new shoes after all. What fun!

    I really need to try pairing bold colors. Maybe I'll try something daring (for me anyway) with my next little handbag now that I've got the hang of the pattern.
