thank god it's finished. i am getting a little discouraged because the last two pairs of socks i have knit took soooo long to finish. what is with that? but i pulled through and managed to finish my elfine's socks. finally.


seen here on my new sock blockers (i know there is no major use for a pair of $25 sock blockers, but i wanted them anyway).


and here with some spring flowers. i used lorna's laces. i forgot the colorway though, sorry! i made them a tad too long (my first toe up socks, i didn't really know what i was doing). i also changed the cuff to a simple k2, p2 rib. the garter cuff didn't fit well over my foot.

i did have a little bit of helping getting them finished up. here is abby ann reading the pattern to me. :)


and the sun/cloud mix we have had for the last few days has been nice. i am seeing green buds everywhere! chase just loves to roll around in the sun... (hmm if you are on a pc you might not be able to see this pic...it is fine on my mac though, weird!)


my parents are on vacation so i am taking care of chase and abby for the next few days. they aren't too much trouble and chase is pretty attached to me. that is when he is not peeing on the carpet because apparently he doesn't like his new litter. oh joy!
