355-365 "Thirteen Socks"
Today, the Hereios are sharing Thirteen Things about themselves, so I thought it was an ideal opportunity for a cliché. Socks are cliché and so is cloning, so HCS!
1. I have made 13 pairs of socks for myself.
2. I also have 3 pairs of socks that other people have made for me in swaps.
3. When I was putting the socks on for this shot I discovered that the first pair I made have a whole in the sole.
4. I don't have any of that yarn left to darn them with. :(
5. The sock in the middle was a nice thick woolly sock with a pretty raindrop lace pattern, but my husband put it in the washer and then the dryer by mistake, so now it is felted and the right size for a seven year old.
6. I like knitting socks because they're small and portable and easy for me to remember the pattern.
7. I've hardly knit any socks in the last year, because I've made so many blanket squares and been doing my 365 Days SP project.
8. I have two different unfinished socks ready to take away on holiday with me, since I won't be driving and socks won't be too hot to knit.
9. I have also chosen some crochet patterns for doing on the plane. I know the TSA don't mind knitting needles on planes, but no-one seems to have told Manchester and I can't be bothered to have a fight with the security guards.
10. One of the socks is on two very long circular needles so I could use them as garottes if I so wished, so it's maybe a good thing they'll be in my checked luggage.
11. I haven't done anyway near enough of he things on my to do list before I go on holiday and instead of getting on with them, I'm making jam and making clone shots.
12. I use Flickr rather like I use Ravelry - as a tool for procrastination.
13. I am so excited about going on my jolly-holly-days that I think I might burst before I get on the plane!
