A fairly simple sewing project, right? Except instead of backstitching just the last little bit, I crookedly backstitched it all. In that class, we did not receive regular letter grades--the options were E (for excellent), S (for satisfactory) or U (for unsatisfactory). For my quarterly grade, my teacher gave me an S------ (not just ONE minus, but SIX). When I saw that on my report card, I could HEAR her nasally voice proclaiming "Ess Minus, Minus, Minus, Minus, Minus, Minus!" I think it might have been kinder for her to just give me a U. :)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-2806043959808806852012-10-19T23:04:14.695-04:002012-10-19T23:04:14.695-04:00I love your socks.

It’s interesting that there is something a lithe different about each pattern. By that I mean in the way they divide for the heel or do the toe, things like that. I think I am close to <i>the</i> right combination, for me.<br />I will have to check out Hermione’s Everyday Socks. <br /><br />I have held back reading ahead in Anna’s diary. I can’t wait to see if Anne mentions the crash and if it has an effect on her. Apparently her family was in the banking business. lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-63498001983594924322012-10-19T22:29:29.663-04:002012-10-19T22:29:29.663-04:00Judy you are right, they are very comfy; also warm...Judy you are right, they are very comfy; also warm and cozy :)lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-61267909891961015112012-10-19T14:07:39.877-04:002012-10-19T14:07:39.877-04:00One day .. one day I'll be able to sew...

I was told that I should have probably started with baby socks to learn the construction and have, you know, instant gratification...but I started with adult ones. I finished them and they're a bit too big for me but they make good house socks. My second pair is big, too. My third pair is almost right...just a little baggy at the ankle. My fourth pair has one sock finished and it fits like a dream! I think I finally found a combination that works (my Hermione's Everyday Socks with a double gusset heel decrease which is why it fits better). Woo-hoo!<br /><br />I'm also curious to see what happens in Anna's diary when the stock market crashes...Renee Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513788818111774118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-55149805663522102572012-10-19T10:40:00.247-04:002012-10-19T10:40:00.247-04:00I love the saggy old lady socks the best!
