3 P's for T

Even though I swore I wouldn't do Holiday knitting, I did. I'm weak.

Maybe stupid, too.
The further I got into these socks the more I wanted to keep them for myself.  But then I had to ask, "would I truly be able to enjoy wearing them when I knew they were intended for another?  WHat if I actually had them on and the intended recipient admired them?"  Oh...could you imagine the guilt?

So I did the stupid.  The inevitable.
I gave them away.  To my sister.  It's okay.  Really.  She's a non knitter, but does she appreciate hand knits.  Even more so after I told her that if I were paid $10 an hour to knit this particular socks they would cost at least $400. (Seriously.  This famous pattern threw me for a loop.) I also felt the need to make sure she knew I had to stay up all night just to buy some of this yarn in the crazy world of Wollmeise stalking.  I swear she likes them for what they are---not the guilt I gave her to make sure she wore them!

 Here's my "Three P's for T"
