I am still shocked that I made socks that fit someone. My downstream sock pal showed off her pal's Sockapalooza socks and the ones I made for her. She made some gorgeous socks also out of Koigu, but her Koigu wasn't as friendly as the Koigu I made her socks from. I didn't have a problem with the color bleeding or fading like she did.

Oh yeah, I have made some sock progress and hope to finish this one tonight. Free time is amazing. I also have more evidence that my cloning may have worked. The brownies turned out really well and now I need to figure out how to entertain my mom if she comes on Saturday. I think trip to the yarn shops may be in order. The "check engine" light came on in my car on Saturday and I really don't want to deal with whatever the problem is. I really wish the college students weren't coming back so I don't have to kick them out of my way and watch them buy cheap canoe beer*.

Love these socks your making...the yarn is such a lovely match for the stitch. Hmmm....this pattern is now on my radar.

Oh I think I can figure out what the canoe beer is, I live in State College (where Penn State Univ. is)PA. No shortage of University students here!
