First Pair of Socks

This is my first ever pair of socks with my darling mini schnauzer, Elly. We have another dog, a fifty-pound Australian Shepard mix, but you'll never see her. She's camera-shy for some reason, and won't be in the same room with one. You can even hold your hand to your face and squint and make a sound like you're taking a photo, and she's off like a shot. Very odd.

But Elly's a very placid, easy-going dog, and she doesn't mind having her picture taken, even though she looks supremely irritated right here, but I think that's because I woke her up.



Here's a better photo of the socks, made with cascade Fixation, also purchased at Fringe in downtown Tulsa. And I absolutely have to acknowledge the wildly talented and creative Sue, my knitting mentor, who guided me through every step (ha ha, no pun intended) of the creation of these socks. I could never have done it without her, and I never would have even attempted it if not for her assurances that it really looks more complicated than it was, and that I could do it. And you know what? She was right.
