(what) was I thinking?

More objects to rework for February’s challenge.  I may start early, C gave me this sock I’d made him years ago and asked if I could fix it.

My first impulse was to throttle tell him absolutely not, what are you thinking?  How did it get this way… it’s on the top and the bottom.  Were you playing with the cat with this sock??  This morning I had second thoughts, I’d add it to the list of items to be reworked (sounds better that ripped out).   I went in search of the leftover yarn.  I’m fairly certain these were made 5 years ago or so… but I don’t throw anything away (don’t grimace Dad), so it had to be somewhere.  I knew I’d seen it.  Now, here’s the I can’t remember anything it seems mystery.  I found it on the floor under the dining room table.  It has not been there for five years.  I must have decided to use it to wrap a present or something, maybe he was playing with the cats, heck if I know.  But there it was, not in storage, but under the table.  Weird, huh?  So a la Sally Melville’s class, I’m removing the lower foot, by unraveling from the one row, from the one cut stitch.  And, I’ll make a new one.  It’s very cold, I attempted to relocate the bird feeder , now I’m waiting for parts. 

  The cats, the ground feeders and the squirrels are very happy with the results.  The platform feeder is now constantly heaped with seed.  All the better to see everyone.
