so, my first finished sockies were L M's spooky socks. this boy is growing fast, he'll only wear them a couple of weeks, that's ok with me tho, i didn't like the heel and other parts - the pattern for the cuff itself was ok....but, they wouldn't stay on his cute baby feet - guess i'll have to invent my own pattern!
the socks for the cancer auction were my second finished socks & they are lovely!(even if i do say so myself!) i was requested to make size 7 and had to find several people with size 7 feet to try them on. yippee! all of them said they fit grrreat and felt nice in their shoes. two of them wanted to keep 'em :) i can only hope that whoever wins them will also love them.
the lady at work is a survivor and she's the one who asked me to knit, i sent her off to the LYS and she came back with Lornas Laces - can't remember color but have used LL and it's nice to work with, had some pooling but she likes it!!!
now.....i'm finishing up the Kill Bill socks! one is done and the other will be exclusively (yea, right!) worked on today.
who cares that all the sock yarn is out on the bed and i'm contemplating 4-5 different patterns plus one that will just be plain so i can knit without carrying around a pattern. PLUS i need to start the Spooky socks for L B & L J !
and who cares that the dishes need to be, the floors need to be, the bathroom needs to be, and the yard needs to be!!! hubby went off flying so why should i have to....ya know???
and i'm waiting for the superwash sock yarn i dyed with Flavoraid and food color to dry so i can wind it and see how the colors came out!!!!
happy weekend!

Mamere -
The auction socks you knitted were just super! They were admired by all who saw them between VB and Orlando, Florida. I proudly showed them off wherever I went. The bidding on them got up to $40. Then someone told me that my sister was one of the silent bidders. So, I outbid whoever outbid my sister and won them for her! She didn't know that I was the winner, so I tried to hide them in her suitcase so she could find them when she unpacked back home in Colorado, but she found them before she left Florida. Anyways, with all the snow in Colorado, they were the perfect gift for my sister. Plus, she had given me that really cool pair that I showed you at work. The socks brought in $43 for the research fund and got to stay in the family...it was a win-win situation. I can't thank you enough for knitting them and sharing your special talent.
Love, hugs and socks,
mary
