Well, I had planned to post a photo of the finished waving laces socks but Emily has them on her feet at work. She promised to roll up her pant legs all day and show them off but I am having trouble believing her (she works at an auto parts store and they aren't known for their sense of humor). I was so glad to finally finish them. The second sock went along so much easier than the first. It took only a few days (darn that work day that always gets in the way). Now I am excited about the tour de france kal. I cast on the socks to try out the yarn. It is worsted weight and I wasn't sure how it would work. I did the first little bit and it seems to be ok. Harder to work with though. Now I will put it away until the start of the tour. I can go back to working on my opal socks with the self patterning yarn. I ripped out the half I had done because I didn't like the way it was coming out and will start on slightly smaller needles.
The weather is about perfect this weekend so I am going to get the rest of the weekend chores done and sit outside with my socks and knit.
Happy Sunday!
PS I almost forgot--I won a drawing on Sheepish Annie's blog. I sponsored her efforts in a relay to raise money for cancer research and I won one of the prizes. It is a gift certificate to a very cool store. The prize is just gravy, the real thrill is helping someone raise money for research. There are cancers running through both my husband's and my family and every bit of money that helps find cures is appreciated. Thanks Anne!
