Another Pair Done!
Another Pair Done! magnify

The pic above is of Tips. F found them at the hardware store. Awhile back, I saw this on on Sherry's blog. As I didn't have any marker caps, I shared the info with F and we've been on the prowl ever since to find something that would work. These tips come in a variety of sizes so they will fit over almost any size DPNs.

I finished my Sockotta socks last night! Wait, you say, that was blue yarn! Well, I was never too enthused about the color and had decided to dye them when I was finished. So when I was washing them to block, I just threw them in a Corning Ware pot with some Cherry KA and voila! I have red/purple socks! I'm not really pleased with the look of the peasant heels, but they fit wonderfully and look fine when on my foot. And that's what counts, right? So I now have five pairs of socks finished. Four for me, one for a gift (Pedicure Socks) at the end of this month.

So now I get to CO with my Fiesta yarn! I can't wait to see how it knits up! Which would be my cue to get off the computer, make breakfast for the grands and get knitting!
