Well, whatdya know...
Spring Knitty is up, and I apparently have been knitting one of the patterns for sometime now. My Spring Socks are the exact same as the Quill Lace socks. Ok, maybe not *exactly* the same, since I ribbed the top of the one I've completed, but essentially the same. And here I was, thinking I was all original. I must be well tuned into the collective unconscious. The knitting one, at least.
Also, what's up with taking pictures of hand knitted socks standing on dirty asphalt? There's something about it that gives me that nails-on- a-chalkboard feeling up the back of my neck. I wouldn't do that in cheap store bought socks, let alone ones I've spent hours slaving away over.
