in which i win at birthday presents

I'd have liked to have finished a pair of socks, of course.  But failing that, I was able at dinner tonight to give [livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon a whole sock and show her the 2/3 (approx.) of the other.



The conversation actually went something like this:
[livejournal.com profile] darthfox: Speaking of geeky, here is your present.
[livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon: Ooh, it is a pair of socks!
[livejournal.com profile] darthfox: Well, at the moment it is one sock.
[livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon: And in all my colors!
[livejournal.com profile] sanj: Look at that a little more closely.
[livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon: Oh ... my ... GOODNESS!

I think she was very pleased.

You totally win at birthday presents. And knitting! The sock looks *gorgeous* and [livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon looks delighted. As well she should.

Well done, Foxeleh.
