RPM … finished!
Look at RPM, being all ballerina-like and flitting around the room. It’s just so happy to be completed!
Fun pattern, fun yarn (Socks that Rock in Lagoon). I did the smooth heel and shaped toe options, something I’ll be sure to let me Hurricane Sock Sister know. I kind of wish that I’d dropped to a US 1 needle, at least for the ribbing. The 1.5 was good, but I think it would have been better with the 1.
Her foot is slightly longer than mine, though, so I’m hoping this works out well! She can rest assured, however, that this sock has been thoroughly examined by Inspector LeMew.
Now on to the next sock … Adelle has clearly done some brainwashing here.
Sock-obsessed
Clearly my mind is not my own. There’s no other reason that I, the girl who can’t keep up with socks, the girl who loses socks, the girl who rips and rips and rips socks … would sign up for another sock swap.
RPM is almost done — just need the toe wrapped up — and my presents for the Hurricane Sock Party have been bought, so of course I need something else to knit for! No pictures just yet because I want to actually get RPM finished before I take another picture .. it’s almost like a jinx or something. Anyway, THANK YOU for the comments and encouragement on it. I’m going to be so thrilled to finish a second sock … even if it’s not the match to the first sock I knit. :-D That’s why this Second Sock Syndrome swap is perfect for me!
The SSS questionnaire is under the cut …

RPM is a tough sock
Not hard to do, but it likes to act all tough. I mean, look at it. You put it over your hand to get a photo, and it acts all mean and like Kenickie trying to protect his piece-of-crap car.
This, my friends, is how much you can get done while you’re lounging around in France, riding a train from Brive -la-Gaillarde (home of some excellent mustard) to Toulouse, and flying from Toulouse to Paris to Houston and THEN also knitting two days later as you fly from Dallas to Houston.
My hands are still a little stiff, actually.
I’m getting there, though, and then I can package the sock up with the goodies. I need to add some more fun little things to this package … hmm.
