Psalm 103:2-3 Dear Lord, Thank you, Lord, for all you’ve done for me. Don’t let me forget that you are always blessing me whether I notice it or not. Thank you for forgiving my sins, and thank you for healing me. I trust you and love you, Lord. Amen 詩篇103:2-3 親愛なる主よ、 主よ、あなたが私のためにしてくださったすべてのことに感謝します。私が気づこうが気づくまいが、あなたはいつも私を祝福してくださっていることを、私に忘れさせないでください。私の罪を赦し、癒してくださってありがとうございます。主よ、あなたを信じ、あなたを愛します。 アーメン
Captain's Log, Stardate 01.11.2008
Update: I also wrote out the pattern for a pair of tabi socks, or split-toe socks.
I can't help bragging a little. I just finished my first pair of toe socks (I have an unfinished pair of toe socks somewhere, but this is my first completed pair).
These are a belated (VERY belated) graduation present for one of my high school girls in the church youth group. She wanted toe socks in Slytherin colors.
I had a time finding superwash sock yarn in green and silver, and you can tell these are very different types of yarn (one is merino superwash, the other is a wool/elastic blend). But they knit up at the same gauge (almost) and look quite nice, if I say so myself.
They look a little creepy (almost like freaky alien hands). You can see the bump from the heel on the right sock.
I usedMichelle Cho's toe sock pattern Update: The previous link was taken down, but here's another that's actually a bit better: Unicornbooks.com toe socks pattern almost exactly (update: I forgot to mention that I knitted these top down rather than toe up the way Michelle did, but that's only because I personally dislike the way the heels look on toe up socks. Instead of decreasing at the base of the toes, I increased with M1 stitches. I put the stitches on a holder and knitted only a few stitches at a time for each toe. I knit the toes like she did.)--adjusting for a slight difference in gauge and wool elasticity.
Haha, let's hope they fit!

i am not a knitter and to have toes would make it hard i would think
I'm also a bit jealous of your knitting abilities. I have no idea how to knit.

if i should know my excuse is im an aussie!
Anyway, you are awesome. I bet she loves them--and AusJenny--if I'm not mistaken Slytherin refers to a house in Harry Potter and these are the colors of that house (at the school.) Am I right? Do I win?? (ha)
