Handknit socks in 4 days
I almost boogered it up this year. Oma's birthday comes the same time every year so you would think I'd have it down by now but no. Wednesday I realized her day was Sunday- 4 days away, crap. I'd already purchased the yarn specifically for her it was just a matter of getting it done. I knit her socks for Christmas and her birthday because 1. she loves them so much and tells me. 2. she had chemo a few years ago and hand knit socks are good for the problem feet.
My gauge changed a little as I knit last night at the Wings game (indoor lacrosse), but I steam blocked them and it was good.
Gifted this morning and modeled for pics as long as I didn't get her whole self in pj's ;)
Whew.
Now to get my plan together for the Jr. Great Books group starting this week and I'll feel like I'm finally digging out of the hole.

Thank you so much for your sweet note about my return to the blog! I can't even tell you how it warmed my heart to see an old familiar name there, and so quickly... hooray!
Wow! That is super fast! I'd have trouble getting ONE sock done in 4 days! :o)
