Birthday Socks

I'm trying to knit a pair of socks for DH's birthday tomorrow. I still have to get dressed, put the garbage out, go shopping at three different stores, spread fertilizer on the front lawn, watch The Four Year Old and make dinner. I think I might just be wrapping one sock.

Well, one sock and one ankle warmer to start. That's a nice gift. Then, you can either finish the sock by turning the ankle warmer into a sock OR you can knit another pair just like the one you gave as a gift...thus, one pair of socks and one pair of ankle warmers. (Hey, I know people who want thicker socks but can't take the extra thickness inside their shoes... makes the shoes too tight or their feet too sweaty. Wear a regular pair of socks and put the ankle warmers on over them...they'll fit from the heels up. Does this make sense?

What a great idea!

Thanks.

I wouldn't get dressed to take the trash out, but that's just me. When you're surrounded by Twinkies you don't have to worry much about keeping up appearances.

You need some West Virginia hillbillies to move into your town. If you hit the right time of the day around here no one pays any attention anymore.

I have pretty PJs so I don't usually worry about how I look taking out the garbage but people tend to stare at you when you go shopping in your jammies, even when they are pretty, even at Walmart.

The socks look fantastic. It is a mystery to me, I am all thumbs.

Thanks.

Tee hee! It's still summer so that one sock will have air conditioning.

That's thinking outside the box!

Kewl!

I'm sure you'll get it all done. How's the yard coming along?

I won't get anything done sitting here.

No change to the yard.
