The socks are finished!!! I know there are a few skeptics out there who thought maybe I would finish one at the most, I have surprised even myself. They are far from perfect, but they are finished. The picture doesn’t show the correct flavor of orange, I think it’s a smidge darker, which is just a little more than a dash if you are of the curious sort. Nonetheless, they are finished.
I am now able to work on other projects. Next up, two socks at a time on the needles. I read warnings about having to take copious notes to be sure that the socks matched. I tried, alas, there are a few differences if you look close enough, however, I warn you, the next time you see the socks will most likely be on someone’s feet.
<rant>On my way to find the url to link to the pics for this, this lovely final post on the creation of the orange socks, my blood pressure increased so dramatically I really wanted to hurt someone. My photo gallery had been spammed by a whole host of asinine idiocy. Until I find a better way to deal with it, I turned off comments for the photo gallery only. WordPress provides some nifty plugins to deal with spam and they are slick. I have control, I have choices. Gallery doesn’t come with anything built in to deal with that, I will have to install something extra that may or may not solve the problem according to the comments I reviewed at the website for that product. </rant>
April 29, 2008: I quickly (3 hours of deleting by hand) solved the problem with a plug-in and requiring registration to leave comments.)
If you made it through the rant, I only have to publicly apologize to Z Mao. He had the unfortunate happenstance to desire my lap for nap. It took 5 minutes and 10 removals for him to understand that my lap was not available at that time. Pobrecito gatito.
