time for pie & socks

Well yay!  The hat was sent, the box was opened, and little Fiona wore it all evening long afterwards.  That really makes my day!  Hooray for berry pie!

Fiona out with her pie hat...

Sorry E, had I known about the swords beforehand, I would have put one in the box!

For other news...

Yay!  The sockapalooza4 database is open and I logged in to see who I will be knitting for!  What fun...though I see she is a major sock knitter so hmmm, these socks must be perfect.  Man the pressure.  Oh wait, this is supposed to be fun--hahahaha!  Okay, so that said, I will be practicing on some for me first...just to make sure they will pass her standards ^__^.

Now, which pattern to knit...hmmm.  There are so many out there...and I'm not seeing one that I like...good thing there is time...

I've also been battling with...do I find the pattern first, THEN the yarn?  Or get the yarn and try to find a pattern that will work without too much rework of gauge calculations...hmmm.

That hat is adorable! Doesn't hurt that the model is picture perfect, 'eh? ;)

It totally escaped my notice that you joined sockapalooza as well (or it escapes my memory)...

I just got my pal too and not only does she knit some great socks, she's a spinner too!

Yeah! Another Fiona...what a cutie. And the hat isn't too bad either.

That hat and that little girl are supercute!

I was thinking about going through all my magazines, making copies of all the sock patterns, and putting them together in a notebook, a sock pattern notebook.
It's on my list of Things To Do.
