the idea of taking another go
at sock knitting was already forming in the recesses of my mind,
but it was serenity 20 by zen yarn garden
(‘black pearl’ is what i chose to use)
that tipped me over the edge into actually casting on.
wow! (and yeehaw! and whoopee!)
semi-solid (my favorite), nylon for durability, superwash merino for ease of care
and cashmere. yup, cashmere for my tired, kid chasing feet.
hard to say no to that combo.
truth is, i didn’t really even try to say no.
what i did do was ask not one, but two sock knitting friends
to ‘please, please, pretty please’ go over the pattern i chose this time around
to be sure nothing struck them as a hurdle i might not make it over.
and ‘pretty little things’ by jenjoyce design got two thumbs up!
no red flags, no quirky construction that might derail me.
my friends even offered to kal along with me.
so i wouldn’t be tempted to quietly ditch out.
i have good friends
even if they do know me a little too well. ha.
good girl, keep going
