Not socks are based on Chain Rib Socks pattern page 48 Sensational Knitted Socks. CO 78 sts. size US2 DPNs. Froehlich Wolle Blauband Jacquard. Heel is 39 sts. Foot worked in size US1 DPNs. Called "not socks" thanks to Rich's ability to see binary humor in my mistake and convincing me to not rip them out. Sock no 1's chain pattern goes o-o-o-o- etc. while sock no 2's chain pattern goes -o-o-o-o etc. because I read the pattern wrong the second time! Not that you can even tell since the pattern in the yarn is so crazy! Reinforcing thread in heels and toes. Eye of partridge heel.

Battenburg Cake
This year's birthday cake extravaganza for my son. Made with cocoa instead of red food coloring and 6 squares instead of 4 (like recipe called for) since I can't estimate 1/2 or count to 4. Is not like he cares tho...when I asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday he said "dirt cups."
