This is Lucy's purple and pink striped sock. A sort of chevron pattern on the top of the foot--30sts. Then, after doing the heel, I added a 1/2 repeat on each side of the front portion, so that's 40 sts. The 20 sts left on the back of the leg are a K2P2 rib.
You should have seen me trying to figure out how to center a K2P2 rib on 20 sts. Some days I'm blonder than other days. It starts with a P1, then K2, P2, ends with a K2 then P1. I figure that this will help counteract the non-stretchy nature of the chevrons.
But, how should I finish it off? Continue the K2P2 rib around the entire leg for another 6 row stripe? Or just cast off at the end of the pattern row? I thought about a picot hem, but think it'll be too fusy with the ribbing, and it'll take me longer to do than she'll probably wear them.
So, it's Feb. 28. I was hoping I'd get the buttons sewed on one newborn sweater that has been waiting for buttons for over 15 months (ie--since before, long before, Megan was born. She wore it without buttons). But I'm thinking I've really got to write some thank you cards for Christmas. However, I can write in the evening when the light's not so good....I can't machine knit at night cause it's too dark in that corner....

Love the socks, and the chevron pattern makes it especially girly. Plus it's purple. Y'know how I am about purple, lol!
About the pictures. I have software that came with my HP printer, and I use that (until I get brave enough to try to learn the mini-version of Photoshop).
When I first download pictures from the digital camera, the editor part of the program shows that most are over 10,000k. I typically crop to the best view of the object, then reduce and save it as a Web file, a jpeg. Usually the size drops to about 1,000k or less. But that's *in the editing program*. The size of the unedited files on the hard drive is less than 2,000k, and the edited ones are under 400k.
Pictures I put up at Elann have to be really small - 50k or less. Hence the lack of detail on those pictures.
