First things, first. I finished my toe-up socks while listening to the Lime & Violet Pod Cast - um, obsessively. These chicks are freakin hilarious and have cured me of my SSS. They are completely sock MAD and are very infectious. ( I recently placed an order w/Blue Moon Fiber Arts - Socks that Rock & Lisa Souza) THAT is how addicting Lime & Violet are! Yeah, that was me bitching about socks and there I go buying sock yarn...huh what????
Some simple Pocket Slippers in honor of St. Patricks Day. Gots to have the "Wear'in O'the Green"..Don't want to get pinched. Look how cute these little guys are.
To keep w/my Teeny, Tiny theme....I present....Itty Bitty socks -complete w/miniature sock blocker. (it's a key chain) That was a clever gift from Fabulous Sue.
And Finally, a little contest. This is to keep me from finishing off that bottle of Vodka and NO that's not what you win if you guess correctly. Okay, here's the deal. I am in waffle stitch HELL!!!!! To gain sympathy (I have no shame) There will be a little contest w/prizes. I have just reached the point in the Thermal pattern where I will divide for the Neckline Placket (the area where the buttons will go for those of you not in KAL, but wanting to play along anyway) If you can guess how many STITCHES I have knit (closest to the actual number, YES I counted) you will win a fabulous prize. If there is more than one of you that guess correct, I will draw a name. If you ALSO guess correctly which skein of yarn I am on I will enter your name ;) Please include your email w/your guess so I can contact you.May the luck of the Irish be with you and I will announce the winner on Saturday....March 17th...St. Patrick's Day.
**** Repeat........The Vodka is NOT the prize. (I need it to finish Thermal)

I'm guessing 116,243 sts and 7th ball of yarn (seems a popular number...and it was the first that leaped to my mind...maybe things like how many balls of yarn it takes to get roughly that far at roughly that gauge is something you subconsciously pick up after doing it a few times? That's assuming, of course, that we're not all waaay off! :-)
Oh, and I'll have some vodka with you in sympathy, how's that?
