Earlier this week, Carl and I very quickly realized that I had been doing a lot more of the housework than I at least (he claims he knew) realized. I discovered this when I came home two days running to a house that was not only not neat, but was in fact, trashed. Crankiness ensued. Negotiations were entered into.
The good news: Carl started doing laundry again.
The bad news: my hand knits were in that laundry.
The good news: Socks made of Knitpicks Dancing don't shrink when you wash and dry them!
The bad news: Socks made of Knitpicks Essential do.
The good news: Both pairs of Dancing socks went through the laundry together, so all environmental factors remained consistant.
Tha bad news: The Riverbed socks (made of the Essential) did not go through together. So only one of the socks shrunk to hell and back.
The good news: Morgan is getting a new pair of socks.
I just hope that when I wash and dry the second sock, it stays the same size!
(And to give the tragedy the sense of scope that it deserves (as well as some much needed scale) here is a picture of the two socks in their current state:

I almost want to claim them for when -when, mind you, and not if- she grows out of them...
ouch! I'm sorry the pretty sock shrunk. But hey, shrink the other one and put'em in her stocking this year ... one less present you have to make.
No I don't really think this'll work ...
I could not believe that was Morgan! Wow! She's turning into quite the young lady, isn't she?
Sorry your socks got shrunked, but at least the husband did laundry, right?
