Christmas CQ'teers

We should probably rename ourselves the "Chocolateers" since I think there's more chocolate ate than CQ's made, lol.

Pictured above is Irene's pair of $100- socks. Now I must explain, they didn't start out as $100-. The problem arose when Irene bought a nice ball of "real" sock wool & a great bunch of wood dpn's for her project. Tools in hand, Irene took a sock knitting course from the local yarn shop.

Upon getting home Mini, followed by Micro (Irene's 2 Shitzu's) were put into high fibre alert. Mini by nature (hey she's a gal) realized the quality of said fibres & needles, & took it upon herself to seize an unattended moment. She & Micro undid said started sock & chewed said lovely needles. Back to the yarn shop Irene went to replace her tools.

We've lost track of all the times Irene had to redo her socks & replace her supplies. I honestly can't believe that Mini & Micro survived it either, lol. The fact is that they're finally done & we have proof.
This is a pic. of our Christmas ATC swap. The gals did lovely work as usual.

Peace out, Boop

But they're such NICE knobby feet and after all, how many times do we see feet covered in $100 socks!
