Second Sox Giveaway 2011

Wow!  The response to the sock giveaway this time has been tremendous.  I already have five people on Taffy's list.  Here is the rundown.  Late last evening Aunt Grumpy came in first!  That was a nice surprise  since she missed the last one.  Sometime in the middle of the night Auntie Colleen chimed in.  Very early this morning Gramma jumped into the third slot.  Mid-afternoon today Mommee snatched fourth place.  And shortly after supper Aunt Muffy slipped into fifth.  That leaves one last lonely pair of socks to be given away..........anyone out there who wants in?  I have sent the six pics off to Auntie Pauline and as soon as she picks I'll be sending the five left to Auntie Colleen....and so on until they are all gone.  I should have enough yarn left for one more round - and by then I should be ready to knit something else for a change.  Of course, I'm not too tired of socks because every morning before Poppa wakes up I spend some time knitting lace for Auntie Colleen.  Here is my latest endeavour.
This one is called Maidenhair Lace and is from Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting by Marianne Kinzel.  It is more complicated than some of the others I have done, but it is worth the work - I really like it!  I hope Auntie Colleen likes it and can find a use for it!
