One of the unique things about this project is that I'm not really doing a pattern. I'm loosely following the toe-up system that Charlene Schurch uses in "Sensational Knitted Socks," but not exactly. The neat thing about the toe up socks is that, for me at least, they're not quite so pattern-dependent as gusset socks. Or, I suppose I should say that I'm not so dependent on patterns when making toe-up socks as opposed to gusset socks.
Hey! speaking of socks, did you ever get that Lorna's Laces we sent? It was shipped direct so we never got to lay our eyes on the gorgeous subtle variations of dark greenish greyish nearly solid something that we decided was you. Then again, I see you in that hat and maybe we should have picked out something more vivid!

Yes, I did! They're in a special place under the glass on our cakestand! It'll be evicted when we bake Jeff's birthday cake.
ReplyDeleteThey colors are gorgeous. I'll be sure to post pictures once I start using the yarn.
Thanks so much for this gift! It's perfect!
Thanks for posting!
Oh -- and I changed the blog settings so that people can post anonymously. I'm sorry if you had to register to comment. You shouldn't have to after that.

Hi, Greg! Thanks for commenting! I still glance over at the zebra-stripe Opal sock yarn from time to time -- haven't had the guts to take the plunge yet. You have a happy Thanksgiving, too!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Janelle had always told me that you're a one-project-at-a-time kind of guy. You can imagine my surprise when I saw the sock posted on your blog! It is beautiful!
