Purple-licious

Sep 26, 2008 11:47

I picked out a dark purple shirt to wear to work today, and then started digging in my sock drawer for some coordinating socks.  I dug around for a bit, and came across a Regia pair in shades of purple (it's one of those jacquard ones with the rings of color between the rings of black/white flecks).  Anyhoo, I realized I hadn't worn these in a long time, so I pull them on (they're a wee bit tight after many washings) and go about my day.

At work, I kick my shoes off (as I often do) and walk around the office in sockfeet (what's the socked version of barefoot?).  As I'm walking to the kitchen to make tea, I look down to admire my socks (yes, I am a bit self-centered about my knitting sometimes).  I suddenly realize that I bought this yarn and started knitting these socks while staying with my grandparents over the Christmas holiday while in college.  I start doing the math and realize that these socks are probably 6 1/2 years old.  That's pretty crazy.

And people say you can just buy socks at Walmart.  Ha!  Not like this!! :D

Happy Friday.
