Yep, it is the scale&#8217;s fault. Anyway, I am leaving them that way, because it is not like I wear these socks with shorts. Only those that read this blog will know of my shameful secret. Oh, and that cuffs of my socks are not the same length.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, in wearing them yesterday, I could tell the difference between the socks. The shorter cuff is just not a natural length for me, I guess because of being use to wearing commercially made socks.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, onto the next pair of socks:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/lipstick-on-your-collar.jpg\" title=\"Lipstick on Your Collar\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/lipstick-on-your-collar.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Lipstick on Your Collar\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This pair of socks is for my mother as part of her Mother&#8217;s Day gift. (My parents don&#8217;t have internet access, so don&#8217;t go spilling the beans to them!) The yarn is from Sheila at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.knitswithsticks.com\">Wullenstudio <\/a>and is her <em>Lipstick on Your Collar<\/em> colorway. I got it at the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cloverhillyarn.com\/\">Cloverhill <\/a>booth at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sheepandwool.org\">MSWF<\/a>. (BTW, I am well aware that I am not going to get this done by Sunday. Fortunately, my family is well aware of the routine when it comes to getting handmade gifts from me.)<\/p>\n<p>I also have some sewing to do:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/sewing-for-baby.jpg\" title=\"Sewing for Baby\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/sewing-for-baby.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Sewing for Baby\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Friends of mine from college just had another daughter. I knitted them a sweater for their previous bundle of joy, so I thought this one could us a sundress or two. (Not all of the fabrics you see here are for the new one. Some are for stash, in case I get surprised with a birth announcement like this again.) I am going to be using the patterns out of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kwik-Sews-Sewing-Kerstin-Martensson\/dp\/091321213X\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1210332310&amp;sr=8-2\"><strong><em>Kwik Sew&#8217;s Sewing for Baby<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, which, for the price of it, seems to give a lot of patterns and instructions on how to change the patterns around for different looks.
