Six States Sox - Parting Shots


As I posted here, I finished the last of Dearest Sister's birthday gift a mere 30 minutes before she arrived for her visit, last Wednesday. Maybe less!

Oh, knitting furiously, I was.

I tweaked them just a bit after her arrival, reweaving an end, and working a wonky gap at the gusset. Nothing too big. And I dare say, she was impressed just a bit! She modeled them for a shot both for blogland and my Ravelry page.

And I realized they are really Seven States Sox. We traveled through the southwest corner of Nebraska on our way to Kansas last month, so these sox were knitted on in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana.

Amazingly well traveled for mere hand knitted socks!

Crystal Palace Silk (2 skeins)

Hedera Socks from Knitty, Spring 2006 (made larger)
And now Dearest Sister has gone back home, with her socks, and I am locally sisterless once more....(heavy sigh).

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
