Do you notice anything unusual about this sock? Probably not because it came out exactly the way that I had hoped it would.
Except……………………
It fits ME! 
Now Mr Olive Oyl may have slender legs, but he does not have short stubby feet like I do. Hmmm… the chubbiness of my feet should make up for some of the space, but I’m thinking it’s still going to be too short, so…….you guessed it. RIPPPP………..
There is a reason why I typically don’t knit Christmas presents……LOL
So instead of picking the needles right back up and getting started again, what do I do in my true ADD fashion? I start something new….. That’s right, something completely new…..something I haven’t done for a few years……..fa la la la la 🙂




I’m a bit worried about Smith’s socks fitting, too. The basket is wonderful! I tried to weave baskets a few years ago and found it fun but the suppliesl dried up. Your basket looks festive with the red trim. Merry Christmas, KIM!

Which is why, it is always a merrier Christmas for me when I don’t knit socks for Christmas gifts! They are lovely, however, Kim.
Cute puppy photo…is it your Christmas card for this year?

A woman of many talents can’t focus all her time on just one project. The basket turned out great!

You crack me up. Hopefully you’re only ripping back to the foot and making it longer. Love the basket.

There you go again… now I want to go out in the garage and dig out all my old reed and tools and start weaving again. Too cold to go digging out there though! We just might have snow for Christmas. The socks look great. At least that’s an easy fix. It would have been worse if they were too small around.

It makes perfect sense to me that you would remedy the sock problem by weaving a basket. I would have baked something, myself, but whatever helps. 🙂

I think that’s a good part of the reason why I have close to 30 projects “on the needles”… 25 of them are ones that are really stalled… in most cases, because something happened that I have to stop and fix in order to continue. I’m going to have to focus on getting them back to ready-to-just-pick-up-and-work-on condition.
