Ray of sunshine

The Itchy Feet hiking socks Travel Bug I knitted is currently somewhere in Minnesota.  I made a miniature pair of Mermaid socks from Lucy Neatby's Cool socks, Warm feet book.  It's just been picked up, and the geocacher who nabbed it left this comment:

...gathering TBugs for my upcoming trip.Nice job on the socks -- I am a knitter too.... now I know what to do with all my

leftover bits of yarn (or not [;)])

I'm having a crappy week month, that comment, dinner with Eric and Roxanne, and Tuesdays conversations with Sehlat about Rasputin and the new Russian museum "attraction" (if you can call it that) helped brighten it.  Thanks guys!
