![Saw The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare which is based on a true story. It was excellent!
There was action, humor, and solid character development. Also, I love a good tale about a band of misfits making a great team!
The cast was the largest gathering of symmetrical faces I’ve seen in a hot minute. Wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers.
I hope you have the Sunday you need, Crew! I love you!!!

Do you remember that one class you took. You know, the one where you worked your arse off just to pass. Engineering statistics, anyone? Just me? okay well, the second muppet sock is kind of like that. I KNEW that pleasant striping was possible, I just had to start the cast on at the right place. I cast on no less than 15 times. I’m not kidding. There was a week in there where all I did was cast on for these socks and knit the first 8 rows to see how the striping would play over and over and over again.
ewww. big pool of green.
In the end, I figured it out and I’ve never been so proud of 8 rows of ribbing in all my born days. If you’re going to knit socks with this yarn, for the love of all that is wooly, make a note somewhere of what color you began the cast on with for the first sock.
WINNING!

Engineering statistics?
Uh, yeah. You’re on your own with that one, sister. =)
I hez no words.
I can’t say I took Engineering statistics either but high school calculus just about did me in.
I think this exact issue is one of the reasons I have been soo hesitant to knit socks … one of these days I will bite the bullet.
I didn’t take calc. in high school, but knitting socks is not as hard as I sometimes make it.
I’m so glad it worked!
ditto!
Mine was organic chemistry lab … and I’d have given up a long time sooner on that yarn. Way to stick with it!
thanks so much! I am determined not to let this yarn beat me! :)
lol I’d have just turned the sock round until it matched the other one and then done the heel from there, I admire your dedication! They look good though
The problem was that it wasn’t striping. It was just green on one half and red/purple on the other. blech!
It was well worth the time – I love the way it striped!
Thank you so much. I’m just glad it FINALLY striped!
Oh I did well in Engineering Statistics and Stats 2 and my grad stats class. But I like numbers that way, for me it was my intro to EE class that I was required to take. Seriously not an Electrical Engineer and could have cared less about circuits and waves. But I busted ass and got an A.
Well, I’m busting arse on these socks. I’m giving myself an A. :)
Sounds like a good plan to me.
Looks like they are going to be very interesting. I know what you mean about matching up stripes. Good luck with all that!
interesting. to say the least. :)
engineering statistics?? I found plan old statistics bad enough!! Your sock is looking great, so worth the effort to get it right!
oddly enough, I really enjoy stats. now, but it was a hard road at first. Thanks!!!
I don’t mind when socks don’t match. ;-) But yours look great!
thank you so much!
You’re a better knitter than I. I tend to let my pairs become ‘coordinates’ rather than ‘matches’. LoL
I don’t know. With your fashion sense, I can’t see you tolerating this nonsense.
wow,you had to do the same thing obsessively over and over. what was that like?
hmmmm. I sure am loving the zombie socks compared to this nonsense and that’s the truth!
