Mission Maybe 2008

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to knit all of the things I have listed before December 31st, 2008. If I should fail in this mission, the government, and most of my knitting buddies, will disavow any knowledge of me or my whereabouts. To this end, this blog will self destruct at midnight on New Years Eve 2008. Good luck, Jo!

Another sock, another club!
Despite the Yarn Harlot's attempt to derail all sock clubs by knitting Vintage Socks, the mill finally came through! The yarn was dyed, skeined, packaged and.....SENT!

Say hello to Firebird! You've got to give our lovely Tsarina of Tsocks her props! This pattern is absolutely fabulous! I can't wait to start! Different textures, plus embroidery!?! WTF!?! I have a feeling that this one may take a while!

Whether it takes a month, or a year, the color is fabulous! And check out the lovely little helper book!

And, just to prove that it can be done, a picture!

They don't call her the Tsarina for nothin'!

One more FO!

Yes, the Leafling socks are done! They are indeed a marvel of crazy sock construction, which has been an absolute joy to knit! I'm convinced that Cat Bordhi is not from here. She may not be from anywhere near here, either! Possibly Pluto. But she can sure put sock knitting on its head! To avoid spoilage, pictures are posted after the break...

These socks are just a load of fun! Plus, I seem to have developed an affinity with the color green, for some reason!

I just know that they will be as much fun to wear as they were to knit!

Edit (Apr 16th): They are TWICE as much fun to wear! I swear to the Yarn Goddess that these are, without question, the most comfortable socks, EVER! I wore them at work (for 29 hours, no less) and I almost thought I was barefoot! FABULOUS!

Have you lost your mind?! I would take one look at the pattern and ebay it! Ha! I have a yarn that would look fabulous with that pattern it is called Tequila Sunrise! Reminds me of one! I find myself singing the Eagles song after I look at it. Good luck with your pattern and I want to see pictures of it when you are done!
