HoHI update: I have two, only two, rows of pattern left before going to 2x2 striping for the toes. There's the distance of my toes, knit-n-decrease in the 2x2 color rib and I'll have to do some kind of kitchener thing to close up the end of the toes. After that, there is the long slog of picking up stitches around the cuffs but then an easy stretch of "knit even" for the width of the elastic. Then there's bind off (for an inch) and sew down to capture elastic (I hates the sewing) along the huge and never-ending distance around my calves. After that, there is blocking and drying and then the HoHI will be done. I think I can, I think I can...

I am not playing with sheep fur until the HoHI are done. Extreme, I know, but it's the only way. Familiarity has bred contempt and I'm fucking tired of looking at the HoHI.

I know someone who is very much into knitting (geez, this sounds like one of those "Dear Abby" letters that starts, "A friend has an embarrassing problem), and I was wondering if you could point me towards some useful online resources.

Oh, and happy post-Thanksgiving day!
