I Did It!

My round two socks are done and I can't tell you how giddy I am to have these finished before the deadline. 


That beaded cast on was absolutely brutal and then, after I'd finished the cast on for the second sock and knew I could mange the legs and heels and toes, I got hit by a headache that would not go away. It would fade a bit and I'd knit a few rows and it'd flare back up. I lost days to the beaded cast on and days to the headache. Thank goodness they weren't the same days or I'd be ready to be fitted for a nice snug straitjacket.

The socks are done and they fit and yup, that's a spider. I didn't notice him until after I'd uploaded the pictures...and taken the socks inside and put them  on my feet for those pictures. I kind of hope he didn't come inside with me. I'm sure he would have been much happier outside and not in here crawling up the inside of my jeans.   shudder
