I actually purchased yarn in late 2009 to make these and 2-3 other pairs of socks for my mom, who seems to enjoy them greatly. Stay tuned for the next pair, likely a month or so from now!
Crochet seems to take forever for me, probably because I have to look at it so much more than when I knit. Intarsia is always frustrating too, with all the tangled yarns to deal with! But the effect is very nice, don't you think?
Here is the pattern - from a 1996 edition of McCall's Crochet. I probably started this project way back then. Perhaps the oldest UnFinished Object, it will become a wedding gift for friends.
OK, so I've been away for a while. Here is Kylie, modeling an afghan I made in early 2009 for a friend recovering from a serious injury. I have my own camera now, so you can expect to see more pictures in 2010. Stay tuned!
