Happy Blog Anniversary to ME!

WOW!!!! 4 YEARS!!!!
Can you stand it? Probably not.... When will she go away?

Ha! Never!!!

I had this great post all set for today, but due to technical difficulties (I suck at internet stuff) That will have to come later.

I was going to post a FREE, yes FREE pattern! That is my problem. But don't worry, as my gift to you faithful readers, I will have the pattern up this week.

So what can I talk about instead? Well I got my socks done!

Kinda nifty huh? I did run out of yarn 2 rows from the toe. Can you believe it? So I just made a longer grey toe. They will be in my socks, who cares. Let's just have another look at them

Do you see anything strange about the sock on the left? The naked eye probably can't spot it, but I know it's there. A mistake, sigh, yes, I have made a mistake and I didn't rip it out and fix it! Whatever... Can't see it? Here you go:

I'll have you know I shaved my legs just for you so that I could take this shot. Feel lucky, They were really bad.

Okay, lets get your mind off the mistake and look at some pretty hand spun

mmmmm.... alpaca..........mmmmmm........

Little more than 5 oz. of pure heaven. Yep, I have been doing a little spinning.

Ok. Gotta go. I will have pattern up this week. Promise!
(Kris you know what it is already....)

The socks turned out great! I really like the skeins too - they are so pretty with the color variations in them. What do they want to be? Happy Blogiversary!

Happy blog anniversary!!!

I love the matchy/unmatchy socks. They are fantastic! And the alpaca just looks yummy.

Happy Blogiversary to YOU! I love the socks - so great and warm looking - they would look perfect near a fireplace with a roaring fire....now that it is spring-ish!

Great socks! I thought the 'mistake' was just a spot where you maybe had your gauge different by a bit. Or maybe a spot on your foot that stretched the sock there... HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!! Wow! FOUR!! Oooooh, and what pretty handspun. Do you know what you'll make with it?

happy blogversary! greedily awaiting a free pattern. And i think, error and all, that your socks are cool!

Posted by: britt at April 16, 2008 08:09 AM

In order..
Happy Blogiversary!
Great socks (who sees the toe inside shoes? Really?)
Free pattern? Yahoo!
No worries on the error. I had a mystery yarn over show up in my Dragonfly socks. No one would have ever noticed if I didn't point it out.
