i have been down with the flu all week. this is not a nice one. i slept all day LAST wednesday. worked thurday through sunday. i was never so glad to see a sunday end. i am tired all day and have a horrible cough! i am tired from coughing!
i finally took the tigers out of the corner and finished them. thank you for telling me that tigers don't match and that i could really leave them.

here are the MATCHING toes!
i really wanted to believe you that the insteps didn't need to match. i really, really did! but i couldn't help myself. it's amazing how many times you can frog opal yarn and still have it looking it NEW! no, i won't tell you how many times i reknit the instep to end up with this.....
WILD insteps!i give up. i almost got them to match once but the colors started over too far. these i can live with. at least the pooling looks like tiger stripes. i think i had a problem with the original ones having an even orange streak across the instep...not tigery at all!
...and the rest of the sock matches!
opal rainforest tiger
2.5mm needles/gauge 9 sts/inch
visited frog pond enough times to qualify as TWO pairs of socks knit!
i think i got my money's worth from this skein!
now to wash and block them so that they can be sent on to their new home!

Those socks look wonderful. You did a great job.
Sorry you've been sick. No fun.
The socks are beautiful.
I thought they looked beautiful the first time, though, but we must knit to please ourselves. I've been known to do something similar, so I understand.
