A few things first:
I did go to the state fair on Saturday;
I dragged Seth to go with me;
We did get rained on, drenched and all that good stuff;
We did also walk around the fair in the rain, and then walked home in the pouring rain from the state fair bus stop to my house: 5 blocks.
And yes, I'm definitely going back to the fair next year!! I manged to take some shots of the animals with my cell phone camera...

I only remembered that I had a camera phone when we were visiting the goats, which, by the way, had the cleaned women's bathroom in all of the fair! They were so cute, i never knew goats could be so cute. Besides the goats, I saw cattle being judged, chickens and ducks. Then the "human" categories, such as Creative Activities (jellies, quilts, blankets, pies, cakes, etc--not much knitting this year...) and pf course 4-H, which, if it hadn't been raining, I doubt we would've stayed as long as we did. It was like a whole 'nother world, that 4-H...
But I don't mean to side track, I need yawls help....
Yes, Jennifer, I'm on the first sock. Granted, I've made two pairs of socks for my sockpal, and I just don't know what to do.
I thought I had it all figured out: I finally had the perfect yarn and the perfect pattern that was "so" my sockpal's style--apparently, she thought so too, because she made them for herself!! No biggie, she could have mine in the most perfect Minnesota Autumn shade...except she made her socks minus the pattern on the foot, because she didn't think it'd be comfortable....*sigh*
So what do I do? I could send her the red cabled socks I made for her in the beginning, or send her these lacy socks, that I've put a lot more work and effort into, and hope that she wears/likes them, even though she has the same pair, minus the foot pattern...
I haven't done the toe decreases yet, because if you all decide for me to send her the red socks, I'll keep these Minnesotan sock-gems and make one more increase for my slightly larger foot...
Red socks....
Lacy Socks...(Hmm..not a great picture, but it's 11:44pm, cut me some slack..)
Here's the poll, please help me decide!










I vote for the lacy ones, but that's just cos I like 'em :)

Great socks. I like them both but vote for the red cables, in case they are for me... ;-)

The voting is so close because both are great!

Both are wonderful, but since she's already made herself the lacy ones, send her the red cable ones, and keep the lacy ones for yourself.

Send the red ones, because they're already done. ;-)

I say send the red ones, because red is my favorite color.

The state fair was fun until it started to rain :( I was tempted to take the hair home with me and spin it, but I thought that would be tacky picking up after groomed animals LOL!
