aaaaaalmost there . . . .
I wish I could tell you the glorious tale of how I reclaimed my Knitting Mojo and have sailed through this pair of socks. I won’t tell you the tale of woe either - whinging isn’t pretty. Suffice it to say - they are kind of plain but almost done. I am knitting the leg portion in a nice slip knit pattern that I made up by mistake and stuck with. It is making a nice cushy top almost like some athletic socks. I wanted to do something a little fancier, but with time running short I opted for speed over sparkle.
I think I can get the leg on this sock done tonight, and then maybe between Tuesday and Wednesday get the next one finished and actually get them in the mail on time.
p.s. sorry for the terrible pics of these. The camera isn’t working (just a lack of batteries - but who has time to buy them?) So I scanned this on the Print/Scan/Fax All-in-One on my desk.

oooh, I’m liking that slip stitch pattern!
Will you show me at Stitches?
Super Simple - the hardest part is figuring out which rows for which yarns to get the colors to show the way you want them too - I’ll show you this weekend.
