Socks are not so hard ...

Knitting socks is easier than spray painting lockers.

I'm almost done painting the lockers. I may or may not do one more coat of green on the 'background' part. Then I need to make arrangements to somehow get them IN the house. Which will require entreating some big, strong, willing men to assist the Grand Lunar. The outside spray paint portions have gone on much better than the awkward inside. They won't be perfect, but they will be, I believe, good enough.

But enough about the lockers. Let me show you the socks!

It took me all summer, but only because I didn't work on them much, until recently.

I learned:

1.) how do do the kitchener rib in the round, incorrectly (the sock on the left)
2.) how to do the kitchener rib in the round, correctly (I think! the sock on the right)
3.) that they don't match when you do one wrong and one right and don't frog the correct one to match the incorrectly previously done sock
4.) that I don't like the kitchener rib stitch
5.) that I prefer ribbed socks to the bloated look of unribbed gussets.
6.) kids don't mind bloated gussets or mismatched cuffs.

Today I'm taking the big kids all the way up to the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Pray for us to stay awake, alert, and healthy!

Pictures tomorrow! Maybe. Tomorrow starts school.
