Delurking to say: I love your blog; I love your socks!

And, on the neighborhood swim team, Carrie and I had to swim in the exhibition lane with the 6 and unders when we were like 10 because we didn’t know how to swim. So, I feel your pain, sister…and ballet sounds like fun!!

Have you thought about trying yoga? It has transformed my life, physically and mentally. I know what you mean about enjoying what you are doing. I actually look forward to class on Thursday nights.

I am in love with your new plan. But even more, I am seriously impressed with those new socks, they are so GREAT. You rock. Also, changing jaywalker to toe-up is impressive as well.

I was a skater until I was in my 20’s… years of skating does make you “bendy”… I’m still very, very flexible, even though I barely stretch. but ice skating can get very expensive once you start private lessons, and need extra icetime. Maybe you could just go to the “open-skate” ice time. Most rinks offer a few hours on Saturday or Sunday that anyone can pay a few dollars to get on the ice. It’s a commitment-free way to see if you’ll really like skating again. Plus you can drag friends. have fun

After you find the cold ducats to execute your plan, I hope that you can keep up the motivation. That’s the other hard part about keeping up an exercise routine, especially when the knits call.

Great, great socks. They are an addiction, are they not?

I had no idea you could do Jaywalkers from the toe up!!! Did I seriously miss that in the pattern?!!! Or did you make it up with your brilliant mind?

The stripey ones look awesome!

Ooh, very cute socks. I love the Regia Mini Ringels.

And ballet? Do it. I wish I could do that. i used to do it when I was a kid, but never got back into it. I keep toying with the idea of taking tap dance classes…but for the time being I just need to get my B.A.

Those socks are gorgeous.
Very.
Identical.
What yarn is that?
