Socks and Stupid Groundhog
My first toe-up sock is just about done. I'm to where the ribbing starts, but I've started the second sock so I can get it to the same spot and make sure the ribbing has the same number of rounds. (Just in case the two skeins had just a little difference in yardage.)
I might just be a convert to toe-up socks. These fit very well, snug just the way I like them, and I think I'm happy with the toe-up heel flap.
I'm not happy with the groundhog or the weathermen right now. It actually looks like the weathermen might havebeen smoking something been just a wee big off in their prediction of 1/4" of ice for Sunday as of Saturday night. I ask you, ladies and gentlemen, does this look like 1/4 of an inch of anything to you?
Nope, more like 6 inches.
I thought the silly little groundhog said "Early Spring". Hmph. Hard to believe in December, when the weather was an unseasonably warm 70 degrees, I was wondering where my snow was. I'm so over the white stuff now. I'm ready for spring and daffodils and birdies making a nest in our nesting box. Yet, still chilly enough for all my pretty socks.

Wow, I'll say they were a little off! 6 inches!
Oh, which toe-up heel flap is THAT? Looks very cool!
Heh, our weather forecasters would've been jumping around, forecasting gloom and doom and 2 feet of ice/snow - they really overplay things here. That said, we did get a foot or so of snow.
Send it here, send it here. I'm so cranky about the snow situation. We've had less than 2 inches total all winter. And I live in the mountains. Very unfair. I want a foot!
Spring is just around the corner...promise! In the mean time enjoy your socks!
We got your 1/4" of ice. We were supposed to have temps around 50F. I guess it was National Wrong Weather Prediction Day.
Woah, look at all that snow! I wish we had snow (but only if it's enough to close work and classes, I don't want to have to worry about trying to drive in it). I love those socks by the way, both the yarn and the pattern are gorgeous!
I'd love to know which toe-up heel treatment you used too. It's a beautiful sock! And 6 inches?! !!
I'd like to know too which toe-up heel flap!
I bet the weather forecaster didn't even apologize for being so wrong. They never do.
Great looking sock!
Sometimes I am also very fanatic about having the same number of rounds for both socks. ;)
Your FPS is coming along nicely!
Um, yeah that's a bit more then a 1/4 inch. I think this weather system this year has thrown everyone for a loop, I wanted winter in December not the end of February. We are having tons of flooding around us, minor stuff, but everything is soaked.
Your socks look lovely! It is a nice marriage of yarn and pattern!
No snow here :)
Love the socks!
I learned a long time ago not to trust a weatherman ;o)
Beautiful socks! (sorry I forgot to say that...)
That sock is gorgeous! And hey, could you do me a favor? Throw a snowball for me? All I get these days, living in exile in California, is what I can shave off the freezer before the defrost cycle. I know, I know, it's easy to miss it when you don't have to shovel it.
I love the socks and oh my gosh look at all that snow! Its been sunny and 60 down here....
