I too was a nutcase about crumbs and cleaning, but after my fourth kid, I had to ease up a bit (not much, just a bit);) The socks are coming along great and I can't wait to see them finished, you are definately getting the Gold! I also am interested in hearing how the afterthought heels go.

They never really match up PERFECTLY...but this makes them close! :) Your socks seem to match rather well though!!! <BR/>You crack me up with your posts, I so very much enjoy reading them.Raganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079894107117527826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140704296408380232006-02-23T09:18:00.000-05:002006-02-23T09:18:00.000-05:00I found your blog through someone and loved the ti...I found your blog through someone and loved the title of this post.

But they should turn out to be close enough matches. Some yarns are more exactly striped than others. I have used Regia self-striping yarn and it's pretty consistent.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109910521429088196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140595802003098232006-02-22T03:10:00.000-05:002006-02-22T03:10:00.000-05:00You've made such good progress on the socks!!

I think self-striping yarn is evil. ;-) It lulls you into complacency, thinking thinking that everything's going to match up and be fine and dandy, then WHAM! You realize that you somehow have fraternal socks! I've only used self-striping sock yarn twice, but both times, in spitechrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231712575528439554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-1140574849993559252006-02-21T21:20:00.000-05:002006-02-21T21:20:00.000-05:00Is it 1x1 ribbing?

I was about in tears by the time I finished that ribbing.
