Finally, another finished object: self-patterning socks for Mom! I used Opal Sockenwolle that I got from Knit-It in Beecroft. As all the previous socks I’ve knitted are too baggy to be worn with shoes, I tried to make this pair a bit smaller and tighter than normal. I can just get them over my chubby feet which hopefully means they’ll be appropriately sized for Mom. The only problem is that I’ve still got a substantial chunk of wool left over… and I’m not sure what to do with it. Maybe wrist warmers?
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Very cute! … Maybe a matching beanie? *grins*
Kris, I offer you the same suggestion I make to everyone who wonders what to do with extra fabric, yarn, or even leftover wrapping paper: Bible Cozies!
(Note: Not a real suggestion–I just think the phrase “Bible Cozy” is really funny.)
Don’t tempt me, birthday boy… 🙂
