Sixty Three


 It's my birthday. I am 63 today but I don't want to talk about it. My mortality has been sorely tested this week and I need a diversion. I would rather talk about knitting. I have 85 grams of that naughty Christmas yarn left. That should get me a pair of socks.



 I also have two sets of these Inox needles so the race is on.



It's going to be a two at a time race but I have no intention of getting them done by this Christmas. I'll work on them until January and then tuck them away to finish next year.



As insurance, I still have these bits and bobs in case I run out and if that fails, red toes would work, right?

    Happy Birthday, and many more!

    Those will make lovely Christmas socks. And as far as I'm concerned, you can make whatever "adaptations" you need to with Christmas socks. :-)

    Red toes would TOTALLY work! But, I think you will be fine. My heaviest socks are 81 gms.

    Happy birthday! And a happy new year too. I hope 63 is a blessed and calm year for you.

    Enjoy the knitting and I know what you mean about mortality, I'm just five months younger. Dream of travelling the world and living on an island off the coast of Scotland, one can have dreams, right!
