Soon

While I so wanted to go with the opinion of "leave it as it is", I knew that I needed to follow Marguerite's advice and redo the sock. So I did.



I feel much better now. I was even able to do the knitting part at an indoor soccer game today. Amidst all that loudness, I don't think I made a mistake. If you see one, please don't point it out to me. The ends have been hidden and they've been washed.

I think I forgot to mention that they are for CIC. From now until March 31st the challenge to knit big, for the big kids. These just barely go my my 9 yr. old DS's big feet, so I think they'll be just right.

With all this blogging, I forgot to show my big Christmas present this year. Anyone recognize it?



How about now?


It's the Knitpicks Options interchangeable needles set. I knew about it way before Christmas (because....well....I ordered it myself.)

I anxiously anticipated using them. I had opened the shipping package--to make sure all the pieces were there, you see. Other than that, though, I hadn't touched them.

It was fun to open the present at Christmas, but since then I've been slightly afraid to use them. (Plus I was busy--and sick--and busy with all that cooking supper and avoiding cleaning and all.)

Today I finally organized the needles in their cute little pouches.

Soon I will get up the courage to use them.

Soon, very soon.

The socks came out beautiful but of course I loved them before you frogged them for not matching.

The socks are gorgeous. Put them someplace you can see and admire them before it's time to send them in.
