Another FO! And This One Knocked My Socks Off!

Finally. 21 months after I started these sock, they are finally done! These have been languishing till I knew I needed socks to send to the Vermonters devastated by Hurricane Irene...then suddenly, it made all sorts of sense to finish them...

That's the mock cable twist pattern that I've used several times before. I've about decided that I am bored by that stitch and that didn't help getting these finished one little bit. But I didn't care for the yarn, either. Anyway, they will keep someone's feet warm this winter, and that is the only thing that counts!!

I've got my sites set on finishing Bonnie Sennott's Buttermilk Sky cowl to include in this second package to Vermont. Then perhaps another Seaman's Cap.

There's another show next weekend down in Richmond, so perhaps my knitting for that event will be the hat. They are almost as mindless as socks for me, so I can keep busy, but still chat with customers.

The Meezer is happy now, sitting on the arm of the chair under the daylight lamp as I read and knit. Somehow, I think she won't be as pleased next weekend when her Auntie Lynette comes to stay...

Well done! I am sure the recipient won't be bored by the pattern. I am certainly not bored - they look great!

Namaste

I honor the place in you,

which is of love, truth, light, and peace.

When you are centered in that place in you,

and I am centered in that place in me,

we are one.
