Sockin' Along

I have a whack (brace?, herd?) of socks that need mending - anywhere from preventative duplicate stitching to all out darning. I am postponing that task by starting in on a new sock. I haven't worked with such fine Signatures for awhile so my finger needs to develop a callus again. For now it's a bit worn - nothing that a Bandaid can't fix.

I'm sure that I'll come home from Julie's tomorrow with a new project - can't wait to see what it is!!

  1. Have a great time today - I haven't been to Julie's in a while either, just because I'm worried about what I'd come home with...

  2. Sounds like a mess o' socks.

    I went to the new local fiber joint in Alexandria yesterday, just for a taste of something -- and spent a hundred bucks. Then I spent $200 on yarn.com -- Somebody stop me! I don't have your finishing-projects superpowers!

  3. A whack is a perfectly normal term of measurement. It's right there with titch, smidge, pile, and gazillion.

  4. A brace is two - a pair or a couple. multiple pairs of socks would be - a flock of socks? If they all need mending maybe it's a cock-up of socks. Or a trample of socks? Oh, a footing of socks! You have quite a sound footing of socks! Happy knitting.

  6. I too have multiple socks that need darning/fising. So instead I am knitting on a scarf.....
