teal socks

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

This week I finished my 9th pair of socks to date! Do you know how hard it is to photograph socks alone on a gloomy day? It's not easy! After several failed attempts I popped out onto my front step and I had an acceptable photo in no time. Hurray for fall! :)
It's cool and blustery here, so these babies are going to get broken in (and covered in a whole lot of thread)...today!
 
Now it's your turn. Please link up your finishes. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!

  36. Your ninth pair of socks - that is very impressive! I chuckled to myself when I read that your socks would soon be covered in thread. It reminded me of something someone said. I can't remember it verbatim, but it was along the lines of "If you are going to get some thread on you while sewing, you may as well roll around on the floor and cover yourself in threads. It is much more impressive when you go and pick up the kids from school."

  37. Nine pairs already! I hope you have cast on for the tenth by now. Enjoy the toasty toes.
