Twiddly Fingers

I'm plagued with Twiddly Finger Syndrome. :) My mother had it, my dad had it for a while, most of my cousins have it. Little known outside my family, TFS is a disorder characterized by an incessant need to constantly do something -- ANYTHING -- with your fingers. Sometimes this takes the form of smoking, sometimes eating, in other cases nail-biting. Having learned to channel this compulsion, I now put hooks and needles in my fingers and make things most of my family members don't need or want.

Green Lace Socks

More socks! Started April 7, 2008 and basically forgot about them until finishing January 4, 2009.

METHOD:
Done in LionBrand Microspun, which I quite like, these are from the pattern "Green Socks" in the book "Ultimate Book of Knit Socks."

The recommended lace was done on #7s, but when I swatched it, I ended up using #6 dpns.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
1. I really kneed to pay attention to the repeats when I'm doing lace knitting.

2. These don't fit quite right. I'm not sure why.
