I've been MIA once again...a cute boy came to town and there were places to go, restaurants to try, wine to drink and birthday candles to blow out...
I went to costco today purely for fruit and for once I actually got out of there for less than $100. (miraculous I tell you.) While I was there, I was not at all expecting to see these:
anyone who knows me, knows I *love* cherries!!
Is this not the craziest amount of cherries that you've ever seen??!!! I could not leave without them. And because you can't quite tell how huge these are, take a look here.
Now on to knitting news. Alert the masses: I have completed my sockapaltwoza socks!
oh my twoza pal, here are your socks!
I have to say, I quite like how these turned out. Do you want to see a close up? But I guess I have another month to find out whether they fit my pal, huh? We're not sending them out until mid-August September so I will just have to be patient! (just realized we're not sending out the socks until September!! Talk about being done super early!! Guess I can sit back and watch everyone else's progress...)
those socks are fabulous....I love the color and the pattern.

The socks turned out beatifully!
And, oh, the cherries! They look so wonderful. I think I may have to buy a whole bunch (as in a bushel!) and can cherries this year. Mmmm...

They are awesome! What a great job you did. (Wish you were my pal!) And I love that you are making anklets with the leftovers.

Got these sock yesterday...they're so fabulous! They make me wish I was still a student so no-one would look at my funny if I wore them with sandals!
Really, you are a master knitter! And so many treats...I've got a date with CSI, the socks and maybe a couple of cookies tonight. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
