Switched to the largest size (82 stitches) and a 3x3 rib. Despite each sock being 82 stitches, the socks are progressing more quickly than I expected.

Packet is so sweet, isn't she? So I finished Ma's socks, and I hope they're the right size this time. The slip-stitch heel is tricky to guesstimate - for me, at least.

Ma's socks

Ma's socks
Started, frogged, and restarted. I'm pretty confident I got the size right this time. I'll finish in the next couple of days and should be able to mail these off very soon.

I was making a pair of socks for Ma out of this yarn, but realized they'd probably be too big. I frogged them and have started over again. This time, they'll be on 49 sts for Wendy Johnson's toe-up slip-stitch heel socks.

Yesterday slipped away from me. At the end of it, these were the things that took up the whole day: the phone (we got a bluetooth dongle to help with managing the phone's files), Ma's socks, and Packet.

One of Katie's gifts to me: a gift card to Knit Picks. I finally picked up some sock needles in better lengths (47" for magic loop), a chart keeper, 2 pairs' worth of sock yarn, and a sweater stone. Yay! Thanks leetle seestar!

All I had to do was weave in the ends and take FO pictures. Only one FO picture turned out well thanks to my thick ankles and Mister's tendency to sit between me and the camera during timer shots.

I used Wendy Johnson's toe-up gusset heels, which fit fabulously. The only problem is that I intended these socks to be for my mom (her feet are two sizes smaller than mine), but they fit me. On the one hand, I'm thrilled to have another pair of socks for myself, but on the other, Ma doesn't have as many pairs of handknit socks as I do. Plus, these are perfect in just about every way. The stripes MATCH. That was completely unintended, and I didn't notice until they were finished.
