The FIrst Pair of 2012 Socks

By -


Knitted in Lorna's Laces colorway, from Santa Claus. They are going to fit someone who wears a size 8 shoe. I don't' know who that is yet.....But they will make great gift. I like the mock cable I knitted into the basic sock anatomy.

There is a little voice in my head saying....(Ha~ ! What did you think I was going to write....)
well, it is saying that the Feather and Fan Scarf that I ripped out, gave up on, and otherwise bailed on still wants to be knit. Just in another type of yarn. A big old type of yarn that won't trick my eyes like spiderweb yarn does. (oh the grammar in this post is atrocious) . So after I nap, I'm casting on another Feather and Fan scarf in some Noro Kochoran I found in the stash.....

Is there a little voice in your head today? What is it saying to you?

(Be nice to yourself.)

Love the socks! Such pretty colors. I know what you mean about grammar in blogs because mine seems to get worse and worse. So much for the "write the way you speak" advice!

I'm happy you are going back to the feather and fan scarf. It has been in my mind since you mentioned it and I know I will be starting one soon.

Love the socks and I am a size 8!!!!! Just kidding. Great job on them, love the color and pattern. And love the picture of your cat sitting at the table.
Have a great day,

Great socks!!

The voice inside my head wants to know why we can't have snow - in any real quantity - this winter.

 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...
