I finished knitting these socks on Monday evening, right after the little tabletopper quilt.
I've had them in the works for probably 6 months or more. They are just plain stockinette in a superwash wool that I purchased from someone on Etsy YEARS ago !
As usual, I wish that I had made the cuffs longer.........I always get so antsy to be done with the cuff, and then I regret that they're too short to wear with thermal underwear ! I should remember, "Dolly, you don't wear WOOL socks in the summertime !"
Anyway, I'm glad I finished a pair, as I've worn holes in several older pairs lately. Somehow, my feet are always able to find a loose screw sticking up from a doorway threshold, or Lottie grabs my foot with her claws as I walk by her lying on the carpet.
And, hey, I discovered something else that I'm able to chew and swallow !
Enchiladas ! Yay......I've been thinking of making some of these again for awhile, and finally got around to it today. Yum ! Hubby ate 2 helpings....I had to go easy on the sauce on his half of the pan. He doesn't like tomatoey things very much.
Starting to feel like they may have stoked the old acid-reflux, though. Good thing I don't make these very often !

“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

They look scrumptious! The socks (think Shamrock Shake at McDonald's) and the enchiladas!
