Just for today, one sock qualifies
for a special one time only FO dance!

Technically, a pair is needed, but this is SPECIAL because it indicates I’ve gotten back on the SOCK BUS!

Even though I’ve been pretty good at cleaning out the workbasket, there are still a couple of lonely socks waiting to be finished.
This one is now ready for its MATE!

Dirty Little Secret: But not without a little help from my friends…

I’ve been working on finishing this for a couple of days – its my stop gap knitting when I’m stuck somewhere waiting for work direction or between shows. Yesterday, I SCARED the reporter I was working with by whipping off one boot and tracing my foot…

I’d forgotten my sock pattern and needed to know how long to make the sock! Seeing me measuring the trace did not relieve the stressful situation I caused but only added to the mystique!

Later, I took the little Hemp/Wool sockie to KIP and finished knitting it there. This yarn is so delightful, it was much petted and SMELLED! YES – for the first time ever I participated in a MASS SIP (Smell in Public)…

I’d only done this in the privacy of my own home before But I was emboldened by all the TESTIFYIN’ done over at Wendy’s on Wednesday in the Yarn Sniffin’ Comments, and, damn, this was FINE! Corinne started it but I couldn’t resist –

But I digress… I got all the way to the end of my toe shaping on said sock and started to Kitchener it together but ALAS! I lost my Will To Kitchener! I could not, for the life of me remember how to do it! MARY to the rescue! She pulled out a copy of Interweave Knits and VOILA! In the back section is a handy dandy tech section and there it was – thanks Mary! Love you guys!!!
