Gawd I just love that sock!!! LOL at your mosquito comment. I just don't even go outside anymore. Damn them.

You crack me up!

The sock looks great! (I have Matty's 1st sock to show off, too.) And the stitch markers are super. But that dishcloth... Ha! (?)

So all this rain which is great for the lawn and the house, is probably crack for the mosquitos, eh? How bad do you hate those citrenela candels?

Love those kitty heads! And the sock does look like it's for bigfoot...lol

Sorry about your plague of mosquitos. I've had my share of bites this summer, even though I haven't actually been outside OR seen a bug. *shrug*

that is the prettiest sock in all of the land-i can so see curling up next to a fire and getting all cozy in those socks

The sock is gorgeous! Try taking baths in Avon's Skin-So-Soft oil. Rumor has it that skeeters hate it. In fact Avon even made a skeeter spray with it, but I hate skeeter spray - it stinks and I'd rather have the bites.

I LOVE THE KITTY HEADS! The sock is SA-WEET! I want to do a cabley-goodness one... was it hard?

I love the stitch markers!

I had trouble with mosquitoes last summer and couldn't figure out where they were breeding. It turned out that some rainwater had gotten into my (drained and unused) hot tub. I got rid of that thing this summer, so I'm having much less trouble. You have my sympathies!

I just found your site a couple of days ago when doing a search for Shabby Sheep. I was really excited to find another blogger who knits and is in Dallas! Now, of course, I'm going to have to go through all your past posts to find what other helpful knitting tricks and tips you have up your sleeve.

Wonderful knitting, by the way...

Great looking sock! lovely color. Your stitch markers are awesome. I love the little kitty heads. Too cute.

I adore the stitch markers! The proportion is just right, not too small, not too big, and not too long and dangly. Perfect!

The Sockapaltwoza cabled sock looks terrific. You've got a lucky recipient. Isn't it funny how stretched out and long the foot part of handknit socks look sometimes? Also love the stitch markers--the kitty ones are a riot.
