Part 1
What does a "K"nitter do when she's got her back to the wall? SHE KNITS. Not as much as she'd like to, but she manages to get a row (or 10) done here and there.
I've finished part 1. I have to make the matching sock, otherwise, it's kind of wasted, right? I can't wait to wear these with my, um. oh CRAP. I have no crocs. I have one pair of winter type clogs. I refuse to wear socks with birks or tevas (plus, i don't own either). I am a little worried about how delicate the heel in the back looks... but honestly? this yarn was such a pleasure to knit with, i don't mind if i have to knit up more.
thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement. Comments gave me a great excuse to take a small break from writing/studying. I'm alive (that was kind of my mantra as I was going through these last two weeks of hell... that I would survive... even if I didn't do as well on my projects as I wanted, that i would physically survive. one day at a time, right?)
ps. Guess what plans I have for this weekend? Wanda is coming to visit me, and it just HAPPENS to be the weekend of NH S&W. Fate? Cosmos? Kismet? Serendipity. Whatever you want to call it, I'm not strong enough to resist the call.

Holy bejeebus, that's a gorgeous sock. I'll be getting some of that sock yarn definitely. I'm so excited! Whew, I'm sure it must be a relief to be done
GORGEOUS sock.
Hey, any chance you'll be in Colorado for Estes? I will be. :)
Have fun with Wanda!
dude, i'll be at NHSW on saturday -- look for me. i'll look for you.
Oh those are great looking socks! I just love them. You have to buy yourself something wonderful to wear them with.
Anoynymouse was me, oops, hit the wrong button.
Destiny.
Gorgeous socks!
LOVE those socks, I'm making a piar of baby socks right now for a baby shower this weekend...I just finished her baby sweater!
look for pics soon!
Hope you two have fun! Put me down for the record as being jealous. :D
our motto was always: done is good.
How do I get a hold of that sock pattern? It's beautiful!
Have fun with Wanda!
I really like the pattern down the heel. I certainly hope you found some new shoes to go with those - they're cute!
Hope you guys had fun!!! Go knit whenever you can ... sanity is underrated. :) (I'm sitting here knitting on a sock instead of preparing grades for p/t conferences tonight, like I should be.) Hey -- I'm coming to Boston this summer!! Dave and I have a limited amount of "date time" in Boston for a day By Ourselves but it'd be fun to swing by and see you for a coffee! We're thinking of spending the night in Brookline so we have easy access to the T (or whatever it's called) - isn't that your neck of the woods?? Let me know ... it's looking like 2nd or 3rd week of June-ish.
