Last night J, the sock, and I (along with my dad and a friend of mine) headed downtown to the
Igloo for the last regular-season
Penguins game. A good time was had by all. Here are a few highlights of the evening.
The sock and the Pens warm up before the game.
We watch
Sidney Crosby (#87) and
Colby Armstrong (#20, who we decided looks like
Tommy from the Rugrats) stretch. We're a bit disturbed that they're more flexible than we are.
Sid receives yet another award before the start of the game -- d'you think this guy is tired of hearing chants of "MVP" yet?
The sock celebrates a win -- Pens 2, Rangers 1!
And as of this morning, sock one is done and awaiting its mate. (See what I mean about crazy? Have you ever seen this much color on J's foot?)
Home Ice for the playoffs! Woo-Hoo! Looks like you had some pretty good seats, too!
ReplyDeleteThe Ducks are having a great year out here, but nobody would ever know.
Never would have guessed that that sock was for J. Awesome! :)
Oh, and I have enabled my sickness. Made a KnitPicks order with DPNs and some sock yarn on Thursday. I am thinking I'm getting in way over my head! (major SABLE- stash acquisition beyond life expectancy)
Nice socks! I just finished my husbands austerman step socks.
ReplyDeleteWay to color up your mans feet! :)
ReplyDeleteCan I ask... where did you get the bag you are holding here... http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZjGzzhX1sAg/Rg5jKjJtf2I/AAAAAAAAAVg/NT-iPWy0Xms/s1600-h/KnitBlog+112.jpg
Or better yet... if you made it... do you have some basic dimensions/instructions? I've got some old clothes sitting here that need to be recycled into funky sock bags me thinks! I've been browsing around but I haven't seen any like this one and I really want to make some that are like this... can hang off the wrist. :)
Thanks! :)
