I loved knitting these socks, but I felt funny while nearing completion because I didn’t love the socks. i couldn’t quite figure it out because I love the colors; I love the feel of the yarn; I love how easily they knit up and the happy memories I have of knitting them.
Today, the day I finished them, I was knitting with Julie, and I stitched up the last bind-off stitch and tried on the first completed sock. Uhm, it doesn’t fit. It’s tight. Really tight. And Julie says, “Well then, you should let me try it on!” And we did, and like Cinderella’s slipper, it was a perfect fit. So they are hers. As they should be, for a birthday gift – her special day is tomorrow. Happy birthday Julie!
Thank you. They are lovely and soft and warm and tell me how I am loved when I touch them.
