Yippee. I have socks.
It's official. I am a sock knitter. I am the proud new owner of these happy stripy things:
The striping ended up slightly different. I knew it was a good idea to start each sock with the same color, but I did not realize that it was important to pay attention to the LENGTH of the color until I started the second sock (I didn't want to waste all the yarn until the next green section, either). I thought that it was more important for them to be the same size, which is why one toe has more green than the other. Oh well, knowledge for next time...
Oh yeah, and they were knit on size 2 dpns, from a basic sock pattern I borrowed from one of the Logan Knitter's Night ladies, out of Fortissima Socka Colori yarn in...um...some nice colors.
The Cookbook club:
Don't worry, you don't have to buy a book. I will pick one or two recipes a week and share them and then let you know how they turned out at our house. That way you can decide if you want the cookbook or not. And if you have it, you can play along. This week, I pick Filet of Beef Bourguignon on Page 123, because the boys at my house are beefeaters. I will let you know how it goes.
In other news, I would just like to share that I have recently joined weight watchers. At the end of week 1, I am down 1.5 pounds. If I keep this up, I shall be at fighting weight by somewhere in the middle of swimsuit season.
And notice that I now have links! Is it pathetic that I had to ask an 11-year-old boy how to do this?
