The Light Is On And Somebody's Home
I had an Aha! moment today. You know, that moment when the light goes on above your head, an audible click is heard, and your vision clears up.
I was closing the toe of the second BYOB sock. I was alsocursing praising the genius who invented the Kitchner stitch. While begging the yarn gods, the sock gods, the knitting gods and whatever other gods I could think of for help, my pleas were answered - by accident. (Or perhaps not, those yarn gods are a sneaky bunch!) I mistakenly let a stitch drop before I meant to but the result was perfection.
I had closed the first sock with some struggle. I think it worked out more by chance than by understanding, but closing the mate brought enlightenment. I feel all smart inside. I love those moments when the difficult becomes incredibly easy.
Now if only I could figure out how to photograph my own toes without needing yoga poses.

very purdy
the socks are great..and I hope to have one of those "ahhh" moments on the project I'm working on!
beautiful. you must be proud. I have a love/hate relationship with seaming... it makes things look so nice, but it's so TEDIOUS.
Very nice sock! And you're quite the limber girl as well for getting your foot up on that table! *grin*
