I'm seeing double again.

Look how far I got on these today! I'm downright amazed. It's too bad you can't see the subtle design I'm doing on them. It's called married lines I think. Maybe when they get a bit longer and I can shove a kids foot in them it will show up. It's a double line of zig-zags that are worked over 11 stitches. The front top of the sock is 22 stitches so I'm doing a double line. It won't be bulky either so there shouldn't be any complaints about that. Not that my MIL would be that rude, but I just "know" there won't be this way. Does that make sense? LOL I even got three loads of laundry done and I cleaned the half bath and the main bath up here. We're talking throwing the tub mat in the washing machine with towels and bleach! Yep, I went all out and my shoulder hates me for it. But it feels so good to be mentally into housework again.

We're hosting Christmas dinner here so I've got a lot of work to do. We usually celebrate winter solstice by having our one annual fire in the fireplace downstairs and I make homemade hot chocolate, gingersnaps or gingerbread cookies and we watch Little Bears Winter Tales video. We started this out of a need to have a family tradition. Family defined for this night: The six of us and only the six of us. The bummer this year? I have to work so we're going to have to do it Thursday IF we're not back too late from having our Christmas get together with my brother and his family. I love winter solstice, it's turned into something we all really look forward to. So, maybe another sock photo tomorrow with the way I'm going!
