Remember this blog?  I had said I was going to put up a photo of the finished product, when all the chaos generally, and specifically occurred. Well, the stars have aligned, and I present: Mardi Gras socks!

These silly things were quite a challenge to knit on the cuff, for me.  I think they are quite pretty, personally, however.  They click and rattle when I walk, I can't help but think of the nursery rhyme about "rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, so she shall have music wherever she goes."

Um.  Mine is more in the percussion section, that doesn't seem to rhyme as well.  But, as long as I don't have to sneak up on someone, they're fine. 

I will have to hand wash them, I shudder to think what a washer would do to them, even in a laundry pouch!

So, next blog, lava!
