drum roll, please!

here they come!

marching in....

with a day to spare!

time to kick up our heels and celebrate! yippee!
even though it doesn't look the part, this truly is a plain vanilla sock - stockinette stitch the entire way and since they are knit in the round, knit stitch only except for a few rows of purl stitch in the short row heels! toe-up socks rock!

and as march has faded into a blustery april, what's on the needles now? well, more socks of course!
the weather this past week has been pretty dreadful which enables much knitting - go figure!
i'm trying to avoid second sock syndrome on the feather & fan pair i started last month - if i can just get past the heel, i'm sure with the end in sight i can persevere! it might also help if i hadn't jumped right in on april fool's day by casting on for another pair of socks...and, spring has sprung, which leads to summer knitting so a little summer delight has also found its way onto some needles. oh dear, i hope the rain continues cause i've got knittin' to attend to!!
