and then suddenly finishing a pair of socks seems really really attainable. This dress took almost five hanks of sport weight Louet Gems. I got up early this morning to finishing seaming the pockets and doing the crochet edging on the armholes.
It feels huge. But it is supposed to be big I suppose, so I think I like it…its growing on me. It does have pockets. That is pretty awesome. Nevermind that there is a hole in one of them because I suck at finishing. Nevermind the fact that I had to guy buy a slip, tights and a shirt to go with the dress.
So I think that if I can knit almost five hanks of sport weight yarn, along with a myriad of other projects, in less than 20 days, then certainly I can finish a few pairs of socks! So my pile of Dragonfly Fibers has gotten larger, not smaller, but if I commit to knocking out a few pairs of simple socks that really show off her colors, then I think it is ok if I leave the store with them…right?

You def. deserve some dragonfly sock yarn. And I promise not to suggest any more patterns. At least for today!

I’m laughing about all of the extras that had to be bought for the dress!
I’ve never knit socks… maybe I should commit to finishing a pair with you!?

Lets do it! I will put something up tomorrow or on Saturday…some sort of sock commitment. How long do we want to give ourselves?

Super cute dress!! Now I’m gonna have to have one, and it’s all your fault.
Can I join in the sock commitment plan? I need some sort of incentive…
