My 1st Pair

I finally finished my first pair of socks. All hand made. Since it was my first pair, one is just a smidge bigger than the other. I can't believe I actually finished them. This weekend I decided to stash my needles and yarn in my purse and work while traveling. This really bothered Geoff, he kept thinking we were going to get to our stop and everything would be a mess. I did have some old Korean ladies sit and stare at me (the white girl) while I was kintting. One even reached out to look and feel of the sock I was working on. She said something to me, and all I could do was smile and nod. I wanted to have Geoff take a picture of me standing in them, but he was already asleep. So this was the best way to take a picture of my own feet. They are both kind of streched out from trying them on so much.
Before I made this blessed trip to the land of the morning calm, I stocked up on sock yarn and books on how to knit socks. So I am off to start my next pair. I still haven't found out how to manage my time any better, so it might be another month before you see my next finished pair.
I know I will be doing alot of knitting on my future travels around town. Until next time!

Hey Lace!
I don't know if you hate people shortening your name or not but I guess you will have to get use to it. I got use to Hol. which is better than Ho.
I love the socks. They will be cute with your birks. or crocks. I can only imagine what the girls will be getting this year for Christmas, I hope you draw my name again this year, I guess we will draw for you and mail you yours and Geoff's names. Keep up the good work knitting. Grandmom Mikul would be so proud someone took after her knitting and such and not just cross stitching.
I love you always and miss you terribly but I am glad you are with Geoff. You are right where you are suppose to be. I hope Geoff is enjoying the trips to the grocery store with you, cause I am missing mine.

Your sis.
Hol

Lacey,
I love your socks! Way to go - I know you are so proud. I hope they are as comfy as they are cute! Holly's comment about no one posting anymore made me feel bad. I'm sorry. I do check this every chance I get and I'm so excited to see new posts! I hope you can find the Gap. I hope Henry finds a new home. The pic of the castle with the modern skyscrapers in the background was kind of funny! Are you coming home for our Christmas party??
Love you so much!
Amy
