Endless Socks


The endless socks have heels now. I only had to make three and a half heels to get two. I'm streamlining my process. In the meantime, I've ordered more yarn and the dyeist is going to see if she has any old stuff left because the new batches of this dyelot are much lighter. The dark purple especially looks not dark at all. These are very special socks and I can't have the leg being short. I also can't have them in "femmy" colors, so we'll see what the mail brings.
There are a lot more things planted on the hill. I'll take pictures in some little while when more plants are established. LLD, I did plant one periwinkle. I didn't know that it put down more roots as it goes. That is just what is needed. If it does well, I'll put in more next year. It is a greenish-yellow leaved variety.

You're getting there! Now, just the legs, and you're done -- wishing you smooth sailing from here on out!

I can see no child will be foolish enough to try to steal that ruler!!!

my word today is logutscu, which sounds like the name of an eastern European prime minister.

Suddenly I'm thankful for my 9" feet!

3.5 heels to get 2? That's math I understand!

Way to go! The legs should be much easier once you've got yarn in hand...

You are finished with the tennis socks. You can stop now.

I never found dog hair in the Corgi batts, but I have spun it. Smells like dog no matter how much you wash it.
