Just in case you needed the other "scale" identifier, here she is. Perhaps not quite as cute of a picture as last time, but I am sure I will have more to put up in the future.
 
I did indeed finish my socks on Sunday afternoon. Well, upon wakeful inspection I discovered that knitting when you are falling asleep is not always the best choice. I am missing a few random purls in my seed stitch rib, but decided I wasn't going to go back and fix them. Of course, if they were for someone bedsides me, I would.
 
I even had some yarn leftover after my socks were all done. (For the record, I think the whole measuring process would work with a regular kitchen scale if one didn't have an electronic one like I do.)
 
I have also finished another face cloth for Posies & Lemon Drops, this one is a DW, but again in Cottontots.
Not much else on the knitting front, (other than that long question and answer session posted below), but I am guessing there will be in the not too distant future.

The felted slippers turned out great! I attempted a felted slipper a while back, but it didn't turn out. I might have to try it again. :-)
I love the colors in the socks! It almost looks like the swirl goes across both feet. What do you think of that yarn? Isn't it nice and sqooshy? :-)
Caulk, as I recall, is what Judy uses.
Or any kind of liquid rubber/puffy paint/spray on rubber would work... I keep meaning to make a pair of those...
Actually, I prefer to use two to three coats of Plasti-Dip (or Tool-Dip) from the hardware store painted on the bottoms. I have used silicone glue, but I've found it doesn't have the longevity that the tool dip does.
Love the socks. They look comfy and warm.
I like the DW pattern too. I've made one cloth using it and plan to do at least one more...in my spare time, of course. :)
I am going to try some spray tool dip for my mom's second pair of slippers. All I have left is to seam the bottoms and felt them. Then do you wanna have a spraying party?
The socks look great!
