If It Doesn't Work First Time . . .

Realizing that September 15 is going to be here before I knew it, I went back to my swatch, observed that the gauge was 7 stitches/inch with size 3mm needles, rechecked my sock pal's circumference, and cast on 70 stitches. Well . . . the 2x2 ribbing looks a bit big to me - about 5 3/4 inches, which would make it closer to 11 or 12 inches in circumference. Auugggh . . . back to the drawing board, with less stitches to cast on. And still need to look through my chart pattern book . . .

Last night Bruce talked with his brother and niece, who is expecting a boy any minute now. We gave her this blog url so she can keep up with what's happening here in our corner. So, it's time to go back into the family photo archive, and look for a picture of A and A's father. A and A, I have more pictures if you'd like me to send you these.
