Sock update June 19, 2007
I saw “Knocked Up” on the weekend, and boy was it funny! Crude in lots of places, but still the funniest thing I’ve seen all year. Besides that, not much else is new. My nephew is still cute as a button, and keeping his mom and dad up all night. I found out yesterday that Bing isn’t 8 years old as I (for some reason) thought he was - he’s almost 14. He’s no longer affectionately called “big guy” when I come home at night and he starts meowing at me - he’s “my grumpy-assed old man” now!
However, the title is about the progress on the socks, so here’s some:
The sockapalooza sock looks like this.
(It looks distorted because it’s on my hand. It doesn’t fit on my foot.) Turns out that this yarn is perfect for this pattern, and I hope my recipient likes it just as much as I do. Right now, I’m turning the heel on the first sock, and when I’m done that, I go up a needle size to do the leg part. Which means I can start the second foot right away. Woo!
The other sock (it doesn’t have a cool name yet).
This one has gone on the backburner until I’m finished the sockapalooza socks, or until I get bored of the other. The pattern is one of my own devising, which is a good thing because I can’t find the basic pattern I used to start it. Gulp.
There are two other projects I need to start, but they’re both top secret things. Sorry.
