Sock envy

~ snerkle ~

The co-worker reported this morning she was able to wear her warm wooly socks for about an hour before her daughter noticed them and immediately took possession of them.

It's nice to know my socks are so well loved.

Crusoe from knitty.com

I finished another pair of socks today. This pair was intended for me but the pattern wound up being so much tighter than I expected that the socks are actually too tight for my comfort. The pattern is Cursoe from knitty.com and they have found a good home with a co-worker who very graciously volunteered to take the socks off my hands.




The co-worker can't wait to get the socks home. The weatherman predicted some really cold overnight temperatures and she's looking forward to the socks keeping her feet nice and toasty.

Did you vote?

Shame on you if you didn't!

Goblin has died

The Prodigal and I were with her as she drew her last few breaths. I've taken her to the vet to be cremated.

Socks for me

Another no name pattern. This one is open with texture. You know me, I like texture.

Round 1: k
Round 2: *k1, k1b*; repeat to end
Round 3: k
Round 4: *k1b, k1*; repeat to end
Round 5: k
Round 6: *k2tog, yo*; repeat to end

k1b = knit in back leg instead of front leg

More stash

Watch out for the snakes!

At last, the snake scale socks from Six Sox Knitalong are done. Don't tell her, but they are for the Best Friend for Christmas along with the scarf. I hope they fit.

Yarn, with occasional kitten

Long drawn out sigh

I'm still working on the socks. I have one completed and the other is about a quarter done. I've just been so exhausted from work the last couple of weeks that I haven't done much of anything when I get home. Or on the weekends either for that matter. Can you believe they actually expect me to, like, work when I'm at the office? I think that's terribly unfair.
