Did you see the mystery sock pattern on Through the Loops? It's a fun knit with very pretty results. I plan to make it again even! No photos?

I'm going to go back and finish the pairs (they're for Christmas gifts), but I have to finish the sleeve for my mom's sweater (another Christmas gift) and put the sweater together before I finish the socks. I had the sweater pieces completely done, but had done my tubular cast-on done wrong (that's what I get for not reading the directions again), so the whole thing unravelled when I pulled out my waste yarn! I won't make THAT mistake again! Well, everyone laughed at me, but I managed to get 3 socks made, all from different yarn!

Well..... 1) I finished the second Brown striped sock, 2) I finished the second RW&B striped sock, 3) I finished the second orange striped Baby sock, and 4) I started the second pastel striped sock. Didn't start anything NEW. But I feel really good about getting three paris FINISHED. I"ve heard of someone using all their leftover yarn to make socks that don't match..would I feel comfortable wearing a "pair" like that? I'm not sure. Meanwhile I try to make at least one pair of baby sox from each leftover. They come in handy for shower gifts. Then there is still yarn left!

I think Speck probably needed a nosewarmer or little stocking hat with the cooler weather coming so he stole the missing socks. Well done Judy.

They have been watching sports (think marathon, with 2 tvs in his living room) and I forgot to bring my light so I could hand sew. So how have I been entertaining myself? Rereading all your blogs. When I get home I am going to try more bread making, and finish my pair of socks (one is almost complete) I wish I wish I wish I had brought my knitting when we came here to visit our youngest unmarried son here in Va Beach.
