Yeah, yeah, I know it looks a little bunchy behind the heel. Not sure if it's the sock or how he's got his legs scrunched...I will check on that.


Not sure why he did the pose like this. I think because I did it before so my ankles wouldn't look fat? Again, not sure if it's because he just saw me do it, or because he's trying to make sure his ankles don't look fat. (His ankles aren't fat.)
In Megann's blog the other day, she referred to "the Kitchner Bitch", which I thought was pretty cute. I'm at my computer, and I read this and start giggling a bit. Brian asks me what's up, and I have to say that it's a knitting joke. He's all, "Oh." I ended up telling him what it was, figuring it wouldn't be that funny, and he started laughing, too! Hmmm...sometimes they surprise you. I guess he listens to my knitting rambles after all. He even brought it up again last night while I was finishing the socks up: "You gonna Kitchner Bitch them up?" Silly man.
So, today I cast on for Irene's hat. I really wanted to start another pair of socks, but I just can't put her hat and mittens off any longer. It's so darned cold here! It was about 32 degrees this morning when we left to bring her to school. Freezing temps really require mittens for 6 year olds, so I'd better get on the ball. Her request for her hat was that it match her new coat (duh) and that it have circles. I interpreted that to mean polka dots--not sure what she'd meant. Circles sounded like a color work nightmare. Polka dots can be repeated nicely, so as not to cause me any stress or Agata. Works for me. I'll take some pics, but right now it looks like a half inch of K1,P1 ribbing in dark purple. You can use your imaginations.

I love the color of that yarn.. and your tension is incredible. Very nice job! Glad you got a giggle out of the KB. That thing drives me crazy. I think it's because it seems so slow. And kudos to Brian for avoiding the dreaded cankle look! I can't wait to see your next pair of socks. And I'm jealous of your cold weather!
Ok, this is cool. I was going to ask what pattern you used (because in the light, and the way the yarn shines it looks like the tiniest ribs ever). But then I remembered... RAVELRY! And sure enough, Brian's socks were there with the Harlot pattern. Wowzie! They look great!
Those are beautiful. They are so well made...I can't let my hubby see those pics, or he will want some too, and I don't like knitting with grey (or black, or dark brown, or navy blue) unless I am doing colorwork.
Nice!!
Hey - I have the prizes ready to send the winner - email me the info if you want me to send directly to or I can send to you. Sorry it took so long, I needed to remake them. Now they have breast cancer pink beads as well as white!
They look wonderful. It was sweet of him to match his outfit to his socks.
I need to work on my kids hats too! Boy was it cold this morning when we ran out to the store.
I also have to post soon. = ) well you know it has been busy here.
What nice feet!! :) The socks are the best!!!
I love them, Thanks Jill
