    Finally finished. . .

    OK, so the "look what I started" thread is so old it has been locked. . . But here's proof that, after a winter of diversions, I finally finished the blue hose for Bob! Don't ask about the green ones. . . I'm still weaving in ends on the multicolor cuffs. . .

    A deadline helped, as I committed to entering these in the San Diego county fair. They get delivered today LOL poor Bob can't even wear them to the Games this weekend!

    And whatever possessed me to select seed stitch? Just shoot me. Gack.

    I did learn an important lesson about clocking. . . I should have done increases both to the front and the rear of the design, so it remains centered on the calf vs. running straight up the shin. Looks a little odd when worn but with luck I'm the only one who cares. Or others are too polite to mention

    That's pretty cool. Good for you to get them done. Seed stitch, eh? I think they look pretty nice. After the fair maybe we could see them on? Congratulations. Maybe the green ones will be done then.

    Good job Sydnie! I wish I had the knack for knitting but I don't.
