tail clippings
    Here's the first batch:
    The two red scarves and one pair of socks are officially Finished Objects! More would have been done today, but I had to tinker & reknit ™ the cuff on the socks -- all while battling warm temperatures. Okay. Hot flashes.
    The double-rib cuff on size 2s (that the rest of the sock was knitted with) gaped badly. So out came the double-rib tubular cast-off, the ribbing, and the size 1 DPs. The result is much more pleasing to my eye and foot.
    And since it is the first completed pair of hand-knitted socks I have made for myself, you get a goofy photo of said foots. Presenting my Jaywalker socks, knit with Sockotta by Plymouth (without a color number on the band):
    Because I made another pair of socks with this ball of yarn, I made them short socks. Actually, both pair are short; I like them that way.
    And Brickle likes the red scarves; he's laying atop both of them!
B - U - S - Y     B - U - S - Y   day tomorrow!

Way to go on the tails!! Thanks for joining in on the Tail-Along...I got mine all woven in too. Feels GREAT, no? Whoopee!
Brickle looks a bit like my BlondieBoy (well, we first thought he was a she when it was a kitten, and then....LOL. Thus the "Boy" tagged onto his name)
Love the colors in those socks!
