On My Toes
Today was catch up day on various projects. The primary goal was to finish the first Sock Memories sock. This is the first 100% wool sock that I’ve done and I really like it. It’s more stretchy than I thought it would be, and it’s still sized just right to fit my monstrous size 10½ foot. Not too big or too small, just right. I used the Toe Up Socks pattern for the body of the sock, and made a shorter version of the cuff from the In Your Shoes Ankle socks for this one. I have four yards left of sock yarn, you can bet I was breathing a sigh of relief when I was sure I had enough in the first skein for the sock.
The color is Paper Doll and I love it. It does make me want to do a solid color sock next, or one in shades of a color just to have a little variety for a change. Maybe some Color Your Own sock yarn is in my future. Now I just have to start the mate to this one and I’ll be set.
Move on, just keep going… Nothing to see here.
My niece’s seventh birthday is on the 17th. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday (because she already has everything on the planet she could possibly want) and she didn’t know (see, proof I’m right!). Finally she said girly stuff, especially pink flip-flops like the green ones I made for her last year. I can do that.
Patons Twister ‘Fruit Loops’
Bernat Disco ‘Motown Mauve’. (It’s got Lurex in it, I couldn’t resist. She won’t have a clue, but I will.)
I think one more pair is in the offing along with a couple cute tops to up the girly quotient. I wish my nephew was as easy to shop for.

I have been looking for socks patterning with toes in them. I know you can get them in knitting but I don’t know how to knit. It would be great if you have any that crocheted my son would love to have a pair.
