Two Socks But Not Quite A Pair ~
By Sarah | August 4, 2008
Well hellllooooo there! How is everyone? The family and I are just returned from a hapzard, extremely short but very, very fun, summer trip. Will fill you in on the details later. For now there are mounds of laundry calling my name…. and due to the ten hours in the car, I have some finished knits to share:
- Remember the Wee Sock Kit?
- Size 1.5 (US), two circulars
- One down, one to go.
Love the green tip top of the toe.
- Crown Mountain Sock Hop – Lucy In The Sky
- Size 1.5 (US) Needles
- Basic 64 st roll top sock. The yarn really does all the work.
And, a real true to life use of a finished knit! Sassymetrical Lu, worn around Chicago. Blocking is a magical thing. I liked it before blocking, but fell head over heels in love after. The drape is better, the fit, the way the yarn blooms, everything.
Her she is pre-blocking.
Ok. Off to the laundry nook.

Love the striped socks! What yarn is that?
The Sweater looks so great on you – perfect color! Don’t you just love knits that you actually wear, and wear out on the town? Awesome!

The Wee socks are my favorite pair I’ve ever seen knit up. Love the colors!!!! And Lu is even more beautiful after you blocked her.
I sent you an email earlier re: this weekend. Have a wonderful night.
