A Completion, Etc.

I finally finished my second pair of personal "kilt hose". Next time maybe I ought to just make a regular ol' pair of knee socks. Anyway, though I finished these, they won't be going up as an example of my work on Rebel Gray due to the embarrassing extent of mismatch in the pattern. However, I'll let you look at 'em here and remind the world again that dropping 'extensive' projects in the middle for months on end is not necessarily the wisest. (And by the way, photographing the rear of your own calves is rather an interesting job...)
Picture
The toe decreases didn't come out the same...
Picture
The fronts at least came out identical. I even got the cuff "right", not counting the shorter (and thereby tighter) cables on the one. The accidental ribbing mistake on the first was purposely mirrored on the second, so that is cool.
Picture
(I probably *was* standing a bit pigeon-toed with my right foot. I have that tendency.)
Picture
Of the two rear pictures, this one was better. I obviously didn't get my 'seams' quite straight (in addition to having to twist to get the picture), but you can tell how the ribbing down the back "somehow" didn't match....and neither did the decreases. Of course, I confess that when alternates a decrease round with a non-decrease round, one can get a little confused and loose their place...
In other "interesting" news...I actually sold two pairs of socks last month. I'm putting a new pair on the needles this evening. 

Also, I went to the Goodwill with Mama on Saturday and came home with a red wool tam...
Picture
It can be worn to church or for 1940's reenacting. Double win. ;)
A new pair of (used) shoes...
Picture
I think, if I stretch these 5 1/2's out a bit more (I normally wear a 6 1/2) that I could actually wear these for reeacting too. I wore them to church yesterday which is an all-day affair and lasted alright. I took them off for a bit during choir practice and then wished I hadn't because the alteration of angle made my hip scream at me...
And a picture frame.
Picture
Now I can have my sailor 'boys' out. ;) (These handsome gents are now 94 and 92...if they haven't had birthday's since I saw them in September.)
In addition to all that excitement, Daddy put new shelving over at the shop so the hanging racks came home, which means that I got to take that ungainly (and increasingly tippy) double rack out of my room and return to a single clothes rack. It's amazing what an extra six to ten inches does from room space!

And...well...I'm hungry and have gotten all my killers in today (yes! first time in DAYS)...and I got quite queer feeling after lunch like I did on Christmas after taking a double dose of the parasite killer. I can't really explain it, but it is almost as though I can 'taste' the stuff in my ears. I was a bit dizzy and my eyes weren't focusing straight. Still, I got the dishes done! 

Five more minutes and I can have a snack... ;)

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
