I am finally finishing my first pair of toe-up socks. I am really liking the figure 8 cast on and the seamed bind off. I think I may be a new sock addict! This pair is for Dad for Christmas. One of the things I will always remember about him (besides knowing every book he had read by the blue-edged pages from the chalk at the lumber mill he worked at) is that he loves red socks. I remember the lint and fuzz that used to be all over everything else in the wash because of those socks. It's hard to find red socks now for men so I thought it would be fun to make him some red socks. Besides, I think he would appreciate socks more than me chalking up his books now!
Off-topic but a rant I need to get out of my system .... Did anyone out there know that the remote entry button of the car does not work when the car is running? I locked myself out last week because I locked the car with it running to warm up to keep someone from taking it for a joyride then couldn't get back in. Thank goodness I have the right coverage with my insurance. $45 for the tow-truck guy to unlock my door. Crazy! They should consider that some of us live in Montana and it gets cold here. I hate to leave it unlocked so I can warm it up in cold -20 degree weather!
