Sockless!!!

I have never really thought of myself as a writer. That said, I do have some ideas about the passions in my life so this is a great forum.

I was snooping around ravelry (my new fav site) and it seemed that almost everyone was using a blog to show everyone the latest things that they are working on.

My latest thing has been socks. I made a pair out of worsted pink man made fiber. Well, they are nice...slippers. I was drawn in, just before Christmas, to Micheals and found Patton's stretch sock yarn. I had to start socks right away, you know how it is when you have new yarn! My only problem was, in the beginning, it was almost Christmas, how do you justify making something for yourself. Eurika! My sister would be someone who would appreciate the time and cost put into hand knit socks. They turned out way better than I ever expected, they don't fall off your feet, they are comfy... what more could you want? What would be the next problem? Let me tell you, more of the sock yarn, again I have to justify the purchase (after I had already bought them) Oh my hubby might need some...ok new pattern, new yarn lets go! ok, the pattern was a little more difficult to try with the verigated yarn...Will try his socks in a solid.

Fast forward to today...there is a little bit left of the yarn from sis's socks.....maybe anklets could be squeezed out?!? just about to turn the heel on the first one.. less blogging, more KNITTING!!!
