Cha-ching!

Golly gee whiz, I finally finished the Waving Lace socks, carefully wraught in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Watercolor. And this is the only in-focus picture I was able to take, apparently.
What a journey we've had. I knit the first one about 3 inches too long, and then bravely frogged and re-knit to the perfect length. And then I knit the second one too long as well (whaaaa?) and had to frog it and fix it again. Luckily, I hadn't actually finished the sock, but it goes to show that counting pattern repeats on the bus can only lead to sorrow. Oy. So they're OK. A little baggy at the ankle, but my ankles are very svelte so that's to be expected. (Who am I kidding?) I also discovered that it's nigh impossible to take flattering photos of one's own feet. Your legs can't help but take up the foreground of the picture, which makes them look giNORmous in comparison to the feet, and you end up staring at Picasa wondering who replaced your calves with twin Christmas hams. Anyway, enjoy. This pattern was fun, but I think it would have been better in a solid. I know the ladies of LFP knits love them just the way they are, but I think the Waving Lace pattern is a little lost in the gooey colorey Lornas goodness.
