As you can see they have been repaired and worn many times since, and the repairs are failing. And now, the good part of the heel has a hole. I am calling these done. I checked how old they were and they predate me putting everything I knit on Ravelry. These socks have been in action for over ten years. I think. I have to confirm that on the blog. There are things here that did not get to Rav. No matter, these are very old socks.
On now, to new socks. I have finally assembled my yarns for a couple pairs of I Scream socks from the Operation Sock Drawer book.
The landlord figured the carmel golden colour was wrong for cones, but the better colours were gone and I didn't want to miss the sale. Close enough to the original for me. Ah the foolish dreams we dream but I wanted these socks for the memories of my dad and childhood and special ice cream.
And then, with all the knitting zooms I have been doing lately, my sock production for the year is sky high. This one is a pair of tubeys using some very nice String Theory dyed yarn that I was given. Very pretty.
So much much more. I have a new Grandchild, a sweet little boy who came in at a nice sturdy nine pounds even and whose name is still under disscussion. A photo of my newest peanut will be up as soon as mama and dad say it is okay. And, I talked with mom and dad and I am so happy that they have come thorugh all this okay. Long may that continue.
It was a good weekend. A lovely way to start a spring.
