Limbo Socks


I really like the way the colours knitted up. I finished these last night and was too lazy to get up and take a picture. Talk about cutting it real close, one ball of yarn JUST made one sock so it worked out well. I was praying I'd not have to order a ball just to do a couple of rows as I thought I was going to have to do.

I think next pair I make will be a solid colour. Well, maybe not-I still have that red ball of Cherry Tree Hill yarn to work up, then maybe a pair of solid colour socks. Oh wait, no! I just remembered there's a very funky pair of socks I saw that I have to try. They're so unusual that I have no choice but to try them.

I've also been going out of my gourd looking for a composition book I had stated writing a ton of poetry in last winter. I had some very good stuff in there that I cannot get back and I can't imagine what the hell I did with it. It's sort of a need to have it. It goes along with why I have been listening to Teena Marie non-stop the past week. Here's one haiku that I wrote from that book. I had saved a few on my Mac but not all of them. I've got to find that book.


Frosted tulip glows
Twinkling on a stem of gold
My heart is there too

You lazy so-and-so ;)

They've turned out great, glad you had enough yarn, there's nothing worse than running out with so little to go

Funky socks!
Yeah, I hate running out of yarn! I'm really nervous that a sweater I'm making now is not going to have enough yarn . . .and to make it worse I'm rushing for Christmas.

LOL Rain....The more I look at the socks, the more I love the sort of drunken zig zag in the yarn. Running out would have made me crackers. What would I do with 48.5 grams of yarn if I had to buy another ball?

Thank you Dave.
