Should send you a pic, I am almost finished the pair...(I knit two on two circs) so will update you with the colourful pair I am making for my pal... and I finally have a blog..

I have finished my socks for my pal.

Posted by: Leslie at July 5, 2005 4:07 PM

Hi! I have decided on the pattern for my pal, but can't quite decide on the yarn yet! I'll be making Susan's (http://ma2ut.blogspot.com/) "Landlocked socks". I don't see a link to buy the pattern there anymore...so you'll just have to take my word for it!

Oh, and I've switched my main email account from buelsian@yahoo.com to angbb4590 at gmail.com I was getting WAY too much spam. :)

Hello, one sock down, one cast on. There's not much on my blog, as my camera was hit by a wave and I'm mainly a photo blogger.

I used this as an excuse to try knitpicks, and I am loooooving the way the socks are turning out! Someone lucky will soon have a pair of geranium toe-ups...if they can pry them out of my dead, cold hands. I forsee more knitpicks merino in my immediate future!

oooooo - thanks for all the links :)
wonder if i saw mine in there somewhere :D

I'll only blog about my sock when I upload the photo I took of the yarn I got from Elann...but I have started...don't want to say too much as I don't want to give it away...=)

I've finished knitting the socks - now working on a little gift bag ;)

Bloglines seem to be working now, but just in case...I am in the final stretch of sock #1...yep, still number 1!! Can't wait for Tuesday... Thanks again for all that you are doing! OH and for the fixation pattern too! Woohoo!

Hi Alison. I know it's getting late out on the east coast, but I am minutes away from getting my post together with my finished socks. If I don't make it this week, though, it' all ready for next week's post.
