Too Much of a Good Thing

 

Someone commented about the gift box that I'm always shoving my finished socks in. I hadn't looked in it for a while so I did. I found that I hadn't been labeling them very well.



I've been  throwing all the ball bands in with the socks so I can stuff the finished socks into them. This is two year's worth of socks which isn't much tbh but I have had a couple of failures due to knot issues. They go in my drawer. I only gift them anymore if someone asks for a pair because I'm pretty sure that over the years I've saturated the market for them. That doesn't keep me from making more. I figure that my survivors can figure out what to do with them when the time comes. 



Thanks to the Tour, there's not much else going on here craft wise. I do all my fiber stuff in the morning while watching the riders and then in the afternoon we take the dog out and do errands. We found a Tesla that apparently self-immolated in the parking lot of the grocery store yesterday morning. There's not much left on the driver's side. Scary.

  1. Pretty socks. Wow about that Tesla. I saw one of the cyber trucks the other day - pretty damn ugly if you ask me.

  3. The socks I make are always spoken for before they're finished. I always give them to the kids for Christmas. Mom was my biggest fan of knitted socks. She wore them every day. When she passed I had just taken two more pair to her. I gave them to one of the nursing assistants that she loved. I don't think Mom ever wore them.
    That Tesla is scary.
    Blessings and hugs,

  4. The socks are gorgeous and I think your idea to put the ball band around them is genius!!!

  5. That looks like a pretty full gift box! I don't think I will be buying a Tesla, but I am slightly interested in Elon's proposed 3rd party. I hope it's not just more crazy bs.

  6. It's handy having a pile of socks on hand to gift.

  7. Love the socks. I always think I am going to knit socks for others but...my DH has too large feet they take forever. My DD is worthy and will be getting some soon.
