Rhombus

Last week, during Spring Break, I found myself with a bit of time on my hands and a goal in mind…to finish a project I’d been working on since December

I had pulled, from my stash, the following yarn, which I’d purchased in Juneau during my cruise to Alaska…

It’s dyed right there in Juneau!

I had spent a couple of days with Chicky in October, and one of her roommates had asked me if I’d make her a pair of socks.  She’d been on Facebook admiring my handiwork.

Well, she was so sincere that I couldn’t say no.  I took her measurements, told her not to hold her breath as I was swamped with work, and then cast on a couple of months later.

I decided to use a pattern from Cookie A’s book knit. sock. love.  No surprise there, eh?  I’m probably one of Cookie’s biggest fans!

I used size 1 1/2 (2.5mm) needles to make the small size.  Once I got used to all of the increases, I flew through the pattern (“flew” is probably not very accurate…the pattern wasn’t difficult…finding the time to knit was).

Anyhoo, here is the finished project, in all of its glory.

I was so excited when I put these in the mail.  Chicky sent me the following picture of her roommate after she opened the package…

The socks are a PERFECT fit, and Chicky’s roommate is very happy.

Hence, I am happy.  🙂
