But I do have something to show you!
My very first toe ups!! Poor dear has been frogged a bit...yes, not in a few days though!! I dropped a couple of stitches and I can be a bit AR about my side increases with the magic cast on (from www.knitty.com) The yarn has held up beautifully with the repeated frogging (lost count after 4 times! Yes, these are the toes I started when I visited Turtlegirl) Told ya I had knitting ADD...no, seriously I had some other stuff to finish first. There is some interesting pooling action going on there too! But I do like it, and so far it isn't working against the pattern (well I don't think it is, if you do, just humor me tonite and agree, OK! LOL!) I'll start the second one and see how it goes. They kind of look a bit big on the sides, but I think they'll be fine as I don't like tight socks..if they are too big...well, you know I am the Queen of Frogging!! (I really need a crown now!, with like a big F or Frog on it!!!)Ok, I better go now, getting a bit slap happy! I love my job, I really do, I help out lots of sick people and today was very rewarding in that aspect! But these long days kinda burn you out..no good for anything once you get home..my yarn and fabric is calling my name...I must ignore...(I can't hear you........)
Oh, and before I go, Soapy and I are doing a swap of handmade things by us! She gets sewing and I get!!!
Yeppers, she knits in her sleep LOL! She's been working on them for a bit, in between her designing (which I think she designed the teal ones!) and million other socks she knits! The bottom anklets will be perfect house socks and she spun the yarn herself (and did all that prep work that spinners do) oh and knit them ;) She'll be getting her goodies very soon too! Thanks again! I'm really signing off now, before I say something even funnier or weirder! ahhhh Friday..2 days away!!! Hugs! Me

Good looking toe-ups.
I love your new toe-up socks!! I think the pooling is beautiful. I'm working on a pair where the pooling is nice too - I guess it doesn't always have to be a bad thing. I hope they continue to behave for you.
The socks look like they're coming along great!
