Independence Day and an FO

    

 HAPPY 4th  

To all who are celebrating today

As a person who is proud to celebrate both Canada Day and Independence Day I thought it only right that I acknowledge both holidays in the same way - with an F.O. - Finished Object for any non-knitters.

My completed project this time is appropriate for the holiday.  I started my Stars & Stripes socks on February 22nd on the plane to Savannah, Georgia and I finished them last night and blocked them, ready to tuck into the sock drawer on the 4th of July.  I'd wear them today but it's much too warm.

THE DETAILS

Pattern:  Generic - Top Down, 60 stitches, 1x1 ribbing, stocking stitch legs and feet, short row heel

Size:  Women's medium

Yarn:  The Stars & Stripes yarn is from knitpurlgurl on Etsy, purchased a couple of years ago. The solid blue yarn is Cascade Heritage and the red is unknown, something from my stash.

  Needles: US 0/2.0 mm

Notes:   Those who know me know that I like to make my socks match.  You'll notice that the stripes do match.  I purposely switched the colors on the heels and toes.  I meant to do it!!

This is pair #3 for the year.  I'm not making socks as often as I did last year but I am finishing up some projects that have been around for a while.  Last night I restarted a project that was begun almost exactly three years ago.  More to come soon about that project.
