My First Socks!
I survived the wedding...and grafted/kitchener'd some sock toes.
It was a slow knitting weekend...but I finished my first pair of sockies!
My boss dubbed these "Camo Socks"...in a meeting we had not too long ago.
I won't bore you with any wedding details...I will, however, show you my lovely bouquet from the wedding. So Beautiful...such a perfect evening for my best friend...I even survived my Toast!
I'll be seeing all of you on the 28th! Me and my Cathay will be hittin da beach Cancun Style!
Rabbit and I are knitting the DB Fiery Bolero...in colour chic Noir! It'll be adorable with a little cami and some jeans...
Love this yarn...did I just say that about a DB yarn? Yikes. (looking over head for lightning or piggies with wings)..Whew!
Knit on! as YH says!

If I don't talk to you before you leave (although I'm SURE I will...) have a great [safe] trip! stick your toes in the warm sand for me!!!
Love you!
Posted by: Keowdie at May 16, 2005 09:21 AMYippie for socks! They look awesome though I was distracted by the beauty of those roses. Have a wonderful time away. R&R is good for the soul. Talk to ya when you get back so that we can plan to do something when I visit DC in June!

Welcome to the sock addiction! So quick and fun! Now - do your part in the Color Socks for Men Revolution and knit your boy something SHOCKING. ;)
Posted by: melanie at May 16, 2005 10:04 AMYeah, H! They look great! What pattern is this? It looks like a fun one for me to try my first socks with... yeah, I have all of these great sock yarns living in my stash, but I have not used one of them yet.
The roses are so pretty. Looking forward to hearing more about Saturday...
Take care :)

(So glad you're knitting this project with me. I owe you big props for helping me settle on the short-sleeved version.)
Enjoy your time in Me-ji-co. Have a cucaracha for me (kahlua flambe!).

Posted by: Jill at May 16, 2005 02:26 PMAh, there is nothing like your first pair of hand knit socks! They are really pretty. I wish I had more of them for myself. Your bouquet is just beautiful.

Posted by: frecklegirl at May 16, 2005 09:22 PMWay to go on the socks! They look awesome and you whipped those babies up in no time!

I gave a toast at my twin's wedding...I was SOO nervous! glad you survived. socks look fabulous! have SOO much fun on your trip. take lots of pics!
Posted by: Carrie at May 17, 2005 12:08 AMWoo-hoo for first socks! They look great! I love the kitchener stitch, actually, and have even gone so far as to create situations in my knitting where I can kitchener things. Okay, I may have a problem, I can admit it.
The bouquet is beautiful, and I certainly hope we can see some pictures of an all dolled up Ms. H!
Have a fabu time in Mexico!

Posted by: Kath at May 22, 2005 10:09 AMHave a great vacation, Heather! I can't wait to see your Audrey, because you're in the home stretch (yeah, yeah, coming from the girl who knit the lace umpteen times before she got it right)!
