So Close
June 18, 2010
Can it really be? This sock (and a sweater) have been on the needles since February! FEBRUARY! You have no idea how wonderful and silly it makes me feel to be this close to finishing something. The sock is right at 50 row and I need 65 rows before starting the toe decreases. The end is in sight.
TGIF everyone!
Well, at least the colours have not faded. They are still cheerful. May your weekend be the same.

Sounds like you'll have a new pair of socks by the time the weekend is over. I just hope you don't need to wear them for months!

Love the little pink almost-polka-dots.

Those socks look like they're celebrating already! You'll have happy feet - for sure - when you wear those socks. Let's just hope. . . you don't have to. . . until fall arrives, that is!

Wow, you've been working on that sock as long as I've been working on my SIL's birthday socks! Maybe we'll both finish this weekend. :)

You'll be dancing in these beauties in no time at all...I think you should dance on a table, or a bar, or something a little outrageous to celebrate! I'll be watching for the pictures! :)

Isn't it nice how it doesn't take very much any longer to excite us:) But really, I love the colors and am excited for you.
