Teeny Gift-Tag Socks
okay, i have been doing some previously unaforementioned holiday knitting, out of ben's range of vision. but i had nothing to knit while in his presence, so had to come up with a "decoy" project. it was this tiny pair of socks, which i have made the "gift tag" on my dad's rather lumpy, Lion In Winter-looking package. (remember all the lumpy gifts in that movie?)
i haven't forgotten that this, 2003, was to be the Year of Selfish Knitting. obviously, i didn't observe it as strictly as i could have. and even down to the wire, i was starting new holiday projects, however small. schmucki's husband refers to this, she tells me, as "mission creep". good one!
