A couple of weeks ago a friend brought the latest Interweave Knits to Tuesday knitting and I browsed through it. I am attempting to curb my appetite for printed goods, but I saw the Flower Hat and Lace Knee Highs and those socks would not leave my mind. Finally I broke down and bought the magazine and Thursday morning inbetween baking bread and pies I started one of the socks. There it is, already quite long, and I must say I am enjoying it immensely. Maybe you know the guilty twinge... the little voice that whispers "are you really starting something else? When you have seventeen projects on needles already?" But it's a holiday! I reply. I've been wanting to knit socks and these sure are fun.

Oooh, I loved those socks when I saw them. Soooo pretty! I'd never wear them though (let alone, knit them). So exciting to watch you make them! They look great. I'm not sure from my monitor, but are they perhaps yellow? ;0)

No, they aren't yellow, sort of an off-white-- my camera does funny things sometimes, especially in my condo with the turquoise walls :) I don't know if I'll ever wear them either, but I sure am having fun knitting them! Thanks for your encouragement.
