Well, I did manage to finish my sock yesterday at my class. I read the directions wrong somewhere...I was to rearrange the stitches on the needles after doing the gusset. So, my decreases for the toe, are on the top and bottom of the sock instead of on the sides of the sock. Something also happened when I did the grafting of the toe, and instead of the toe going around the toes, it went up....so if someone had their baby toe as long as their big toe, the sock would be perfect!!! I proudly displayed my sock on my foot when I got home yesterday....but alas....I forgot to take a picture of the completed sock. Remember in my last post about the drama with my dog Buddy? That's right....the completed sock was also in that basket. Now, all I have left is a mangled sock. I'll be back later.....

About Me
- Name: Janet
- Location: Washington, United States
I have been married for 10 years and have 4 children, ages 16-26 and 1 grandson, aged 9. I met my husband in an online chat room, and it was love from the moment we met. We recently moved to a litle piece of heaven in the state of Washington last year, with my youngest son. My oldest son is also here to go to college. I picked up knitting again 12/04, while my daughter was going through cancer treatments. I am self-taught, in knitting, crochet and cross stitch.

Poor sock! I bet Buddy had a great time. Oh... the fortune cookie had two words for me. :-S Nose job!
Oh, Janet! That is so tragic!! Your feet look like they've been attacked by a bear!
I feel your pain, Janet, I have a Mona, a too-friendly cocker spaniel who likes my yarn and needles. As she's gotton older, she doesn't get into it so much, but I've also gotten a lot better at putting it up. I feel so bad for you losing that many needles.
btw: I've never knit a sock, and when I saw yours, I thought, "That's probably what my first sock would look like!"
Oh dear, I found a sock just like that in my laundry...and have no dog! The sock owner told me he doesn't have a clue about what happened...we might have a ghost dog I don't know about!!
