... and me?
So what was I working on at Knitsmiths yesterday? Glad you asked. I finished up the first tiger sock. I think it's pretty cute. I've got to get this pair done by Thursday, since they are a Hannukah present. Then I'll get to work on the pair for Christmas. Oh, and big thanks to Kim for the tip on how to prevent holes when doing a short-row heel - it worked! - and Emma for the sizing help - I think it's just about right!
(As promised, I took a few photos of joining the stitches to work in the round, for anyone out there who hasn't used double-pointed needles before and is unsure of how to get started. I'll post them later today.)

Whew! I'm glad to hear that it worked for you and wasn't just some strange idea that would work for me and no one else! And the sock is awfully cute :)
Lovely Tiger sock! What was the yarn for this creation?
Thanks Anne. The yarn is Opal tiger sock yarn, which I got from Carodan Farm online. One skein makes one pair of adult socks (or in my case, two pairs of toddler socks and baby mittens, I hope!)
