A Sock War, that is. I signed up this year, and even though I am the World’s Slowest Knitter, I actually managed to finish a pair of socks. Haven’t even been eliminated, yet! Too much fun, and I really like the Tofutsies sock yarn, which I hadn’t used before.
Also, you can’t tell from the photo, but I actually found the patience to teach myself how to do Kitchener Stitch properly. Thanks to Interweave’s “Favorite Socks” book, which has an excellent illustrated glossary. Hope my target enjoys them. She’s in the UK, so she won’t get them until next week sometime.

You’re in Sock Wars??! Too cool!! I am totally jealous. Next year, for sure.
Oh, and your socks look fab, too. Have you sent them yet?

Yes, I mailed them Monday. My target is in the UK and I just about fainted at the price to ship them–$15.20 for delivery in 5-7 days! Ouch.
Thanks for complimenting the socks…they were a bit of a challenge to knit, but in the end I wanted them for myself. Good thing they’re 2 sizes too big for me 🙂
