I'd have liked to have finished a pair of socks, of course. But failing that, I was able at dinner tonight to give
ellen_fremedon a whole sock and show her the 2/3 (approx.) of the other.
The conversation actually went something like this:
darthfox: Speaking of geeky, here is your present.
ellen_fremedon: Ooh, it is a pair of socks!
darthfox: Well, at the moment it is one sock.
ellen_fremedon: And in all my colors!
sanj: Look at that a little more closely.
ellen_fremedon: Oh ... my ... GOODNESS!
I think she was very pleased.
