Here’s some pictures of my Roza sock. I am actually thinking about blocking this one (I never bothered with my other socks) because the ribbing is so uneven where knit meets purl. I’ve never been able to get ribbing to look neat. Then again, I put my socks through both washer and dryer, so that’ll do the blocking job.

I’m not sure what I think about having a pic of my toes on the internet. I don’t normally wear nail polish either, but I got bored the other evening.

You can see the uneven ribbing best here. I pull and pull and pull on those two stitches to get them as tight as possible so it doesn’t do that, but to no avail. There’s an ‘open-work’ column down the side of the foot too, because of the purl stitch that separates the patterned part from the plain sole part. It was even worse because the purl was the first stitch of a new needle.

I like what the heel did though (loose thread was from my floor, it isn’t part of the yarn)

Everyone has been sharing beautiful spring photos of trees and flowers in bloom, and green grass and blue skies and such. Here’s the tree outside our window:

… and our balcony:

Notice the car (mine!): any car that was parked there overnight was icicled to the street. I went to drive off the other day, but realised my car was attached to the road at at least 20 points by icicles thicker than my thumb. Part of me wanted to just drive off to see what sort of noise it would make, but the sensible part of me went around and kicked them all down before I moved the car.

Nope, no spring here.
