"What about the twinkle toes socks?", you ask.

I must be out of my mind. I had the sock almost finished...however...deep down in that big black hole where that stupid creature MY CONSCIENCE resides there came that horrible nagging voice that kept pointing out to me that because I knit loosely I should have knitted the sock on a size 3 needle. That voice kept telling me that the sock would look better if it were knitted a bit more firmly. Again I say...I WAS ALMOST FINISHED...ALMOST TO THE CUFF... I surely can't rip out all this work I have already put into it. I will just look for a person with a big foot to give it to...God...I can't stand that nagging little voice. To make matters all the worse, I had ordered Lucy Neatby's two DVD's on sock knitting and they arrived yesterday. And what was the one thing Lucy stressed when I watched the DVD's last night???? A sock should be firmly knitted. By the way... the DVD's are great! But back to my delema....OK....I give in... you win nagging voice. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I ripped out the whole darn sock and started anew on size 3 needles. I HATE WHEN THAT LITTLE VOICE IS RIGHT. And now there is peace in the valley. I do have to admit that I am much happier. I know that a lace sock doesn't have to be extremely firm but this one is soooooooo much better. I have worked on it today and am up to where I start the short rows heel. Here is the fruit of my labor.



At lease maybe I will be able to sleep tonight while that perfectionest beast is asleep.
I will take a better pic tomorrow when the light is bright and I am not so tired.
