The Race Is On
I have been blogging for six months. I was all set to wax philosophical about the joys of blogging, the friends I'm making, the new ideas I'm learning. Except that I am distracted by this...
This is all the yarn I have for my hubby's Trout socks. Can you see it? The cliff I am doomed to knit right over? The total lack of yardage?!? In my defense there is plenty of yarn for my feet, which is what I originally intended. I am most definitely blaming this impending disaster on my husband's unwillingness to accept shorter socks or shrink his feet.
I confirmed my suspicions by visiting my LYS. We agreed that the three skeins in my possession would last me, at best, through the second sock's gusset. They had half a skein of the colorway I'm using. I think it will be a race to the very last stitch of the second toe between me and the trout. I hope to win by a gill.

Those are so beautiful though, despite the problems with yardage. So that's the trout I'm getting, eh? Love it!
I hope you win by at least a whole fin! I absolutely love the colorway. Do you know if it is carried online anywhere?
Oh I wish you luck, and like everyone else has pointed out - the colors are beautiful!
don't you just hate that? Holding my breath for you.
BTW, have you seen this?

I thought of you the minute I saw it.
Love the colourway! Fingers crossed that you have enough. :-)
Ouch!! The yarn is so beautiful, that must be to distract you from its running-outedness!!! I am about to knit some big socks, I will bear your socks in mind!!!
