Ladies and Gentlemen, mail your envelopes!
It’s on the way – I even remembered to put a stamp on it!
If you haven’t taken a look at the Wee Tiny Fickr Group, it is totally worth a peek! There are 26 socks in there so far and I’ve added a lot of yarn to my List.
I’ve gotten a pretty good start on the other sock swap I’m involved in (these take a little longer since they are Regular Size).
It’s raining. Front porch pictures are the best you get today.
You can see how the mixup between Lucy and Bunny FooFoo happened. I have restarted these sock so many times with so many leg patterns. After I picked the basket weave, I started over several times trying to figure out the ribbing. I am still not happy with it. I wish I had gone with the 3×1 my gut told me too. Michael has forbidden (HAH) me to start over again, and truthfully, if I do I will never ever finish. My current plan is to pull out the cuff when I finish the sock and knit it back on upside down. I can bind off in pattern. Which is pretty cool. The bad part is that I will have to make the second sock the same way so that they match. 1.5″ of cuff to redo is better than 4″ of leg don’t you think?
Except…now that I think about it…there are two cuffs that I have to redo…so that’s really 6″ of cuff total (if you figure that it is 1.5″ the first time and 1.5″ on the redo multiplied by 2 cuffs)…
…so it would actually be faster to pull it out and start over…
Maybe I will make another little sock and think it over.
**Update: I just pulled the sock out. I knew I was going to end up doing that and I decided that the sooner the better. I am now casting on 64 stitches.**
