Happy Dance


Specs:
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Seaside
Pattern: Raindrop Lace Socks from Fibertrends
Needles: US 2 dpns

First sock started February 6, 2006

First sock finished
March 7, 2006

Second sock started
March 21, 2006

Second sock finished May 17, 2007, only FOURTEEN MONTHS AND TEN DAYS after it was started. I think this is the part where I start to regret how accurately this blog marks my progress, or lack thereof.

These socks were originally intended for me, but after I passed the heel of the second sock, I started to hate the very idea of these socks so much that I put them away. Umm, as you already know, I put them away for a Very. Long. Time. In that time, I decided that if I ever finished the darned things (that's sort of a sock joke... "darned"... get it? nevermind) I would give them to someone else.

Of course, now that they're finished, my feets like them very very much. But I'm still going to give them away. And I already have a recipient in mind. But thanks for offering!

They are loverly! It doesn't matter how long it took to finish them. It only matters that you finished them.

You are an FO fool! (working with your Mr. T reference earlier)

Spike likes them. I showed him the screen then he started to lick his paws. That's a sign of kitty interest.

I am in such disbelief I haven't been able to come up with anything to say. You actually finished something from your unfinished projects pile? Something that has been lingering that long? I am very very impressed. And inspired. I've discovered my hypothesis is true -- knitting is an excellent sitting-in-the-hospital activity.
