The tagline for this blog claims I will make “occasional forays into knitting”. That might end up a dramatic underestimation…my identity as a knitter is as important to me as my identity as a social psychologist. I chronicle all my knitting projects elsewhere (Ravelry: kme124) but sometimes I want to show off in more than one venue. Today’s project was finished mere days before the recipient leaves for an extended trip to Southeast Asia…where she’ll no doubt be happy that she has a nice pair of wool socks!
Although I knit many things, knitting socks is a favorite. My muse, Janelle (TT 820), got me started and I couldn’t stop. Socks are a fairly perfect project: small (so one can easily take a project to dentist appointments, the department of motor vehicles, FACULTY MEETINGS…)! The next pair will be for my surrogate daughter, Stephie, using this lovely confection:
The blue socks look fantastic. I don’t know why I don’t have a pair that color. I love blue!
I predict that your next pair will go swiftly, as you are personally committed to that colorway.
