A Pair of Socks

Look! I finished a pair of socks!

Don't worry. Chaka's not buying it either.

I do love this sock. I can't wait to start the second one. (I say that now, when I have a deadline for the V-day socks and shouldn't be messing with stuff for myself. Hrmph.) The really cool thing about this sock is that my good friend Wendy kool-aid dyed the yarn, and my other good friend Lisa provided the pattern. And some of my other good friends have provided supervision while I've knitted it! What a combination.

I am endlessly amused by the tiny balls of yarn I have remaining after finishing a sock. (Hey Leone... I meant to tell you... I am constantly TERRIFIED of running out of yarn, which is one of the reasons why these tiny balls are such a source of amusement. I have these great big giganto feet and I am constantly convinced that I will run out of yarn. Shockingly, I came closer to running out of yarn for my sister-in-law's Pomatomus socks than I ever have knitting socks for myself!)

I have convinced myself that some day I will find an incredibly clever use for all of these sock leftovers, and it will be a super-special, incredibly clever something, since each of the sock leftovers reminds me of the socks I knit and the recipients for whom I knit them.

Ahhhh.... socks.
