Sock progress

By -



Neither of these socks are my doing! Al has found another goat for her socks. Isn't he cute? He's a big old goat from a generous sock pattern that includes many animals. (Blackberry RIdge Woolen Mill, Inc pattern, Mt Horeb Wi) We don't believe in goat curses around here. Go Cubbies!

Lynn's baby socks for our little patient came out great, and the baby loves to wear them.

My socks are just begun. I'm doubling sock yarns to give me 6sts/inch and casting on 48 stitches. I'm using 3's to get gauge. They are going to be leftover socks. All the yarns are leftover socks yarns from previous pairs. We will see how they evolve .....I'm hoping that at least one same color will be in each of the leftover balls. I've started with orange. I love leftovers ........
turkey/stuffing sandwich
second day lasagna
second day chili
second day brisket.....

What leftovers do you love?
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Wow, that goat is so cool. I love him!! Can't wait to see your leftover socks. Hmmmm, you've already said my favorite leftover - chili. What else? I guess any leftover dinner I can send to work with Pea the next day for lunch. Then I get a morning off from sandwich making!!

Love the goat motif and the baby socks are adorable! Good idea to use the leftovers for a pair of socks. I bet they'll be terrific.

That goat is great!

My favs are leftover meatloaf and leftover chicken soup. It always taste better the next day!

Great goat pattern. Looking forward to seeing the leftover socks - what a great idea!
Being the Malaysian gal, I love leftover curry, it always tastes better the next day. Also, traditionally, fried rice is made with whatever leftovers you had. No fancy recipe at all.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who digs leftovers. I enjoy leftover soups, stews, spaghetti, chili, you name it. There are very few food items I don't enjoy as an encore. As for yarn, stash diving is always nice. I often get a new perspective on yarns I have sat on for a while..

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
