They just went on and on, my friend.






This was the sock that would not end. It just went on and on my friend. This lady started knitting it not knowing what it was...








Ah yes, the flat feet socks. The eight row repeat of the pattern makes a lovely, lacy sock in the pictures and that's how they got me in the first place. I encourage those of you who are smarter than me (all of you) to try it. What got me was row five (damn you, row five) where I would get into the rhythm and forget to switch. Now I'm frogging out yo's which never ends well. You flat feet socks made me mad (in the crazy way). You have been a formidable foe, and there were times that we did not know how our collective story would end. But now we do - I kicked your ass!


















Boo-yah! Now keep my feet warm, bee-yatchs...I mean, you darlings (we're making up now). I find them adorable. And also nice and toasty. Almost easy to forget that these were the socks that would not end. They just went on and on, my friend. Some lady started knitting them, not knowing...

Now for my trip to Las Vegas tomorrow, I think I'll take the Michelle Obama socks with me. She was on the cover of the Vogue I received today, and I think it's a sign.

...and she'll continue knitting it forever just because...
