when the box was opened screams of oh my god were heard around the house, causing both the dog and sis to come running to see what was wrong- or in this case right!!
my sis - being a non-knitting muggle didn't understand why a skein of CTH is cause for jumping around the house nor why I immediately sat down (still petting the CTH) to read the Knit Fix book, claiming it my new Bible.
do you want to see:
and a porny pic of the CTH (Life's a Beach) colourway- very appropriate!
Sockret Mum you are the best, absolutely amazing- I had to wrestle my sis not to take the body lotion ( pink grapefruit) and am about to take a crochet class so wow for the entire package. Did I mention I want to be adopted!! :) LOL
I could fill up the page with thankyou's and it would still not be enough. But thank you again.
BTW: I have a problem. (Yes, yes besides the obvious :) LOL )
I am making the Debbie Bliss garter stitch bootees from Quick Baby Knits and for the life of me cannot figure out how to do the back seam properly - as there are 6 stitches on the sole to incorporate into the seam. The shoe on the left is ready for seaming, the one on the right- finished. But see how it puckers- I am not very fond of that but have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?
And just because- the front, complete with the background CTH- I can't stop looking at it.

Ooh, the Life's a Beach is indeed yummy! She totally hooked you up!
As far as the bootees, could it be done as two seams? first down the back, and then a separate one across the heel, sort of like an upside-down "T"? That might eliminate the puckering.
Adorable bootees! No suggestions, but I think they're cute.
I have the same color CTH sock yarn. For some reason, I've been obsessed with greens and yellows of late. Go figure.
