In which I work on a pair of ribbed socks
I am about three quarters of the way through knitting a pair of socks. It is very gratifying knitting socks. You can see the progress, thirty rows and then you have a heel. Another thirty rows and you have a gusset.
Plus, when all you want to do is sit around and relax and not really do anything, you can knit while you're vegging out and you are still being productive. For example, today I turned a heel. I haven't made lunch and I went out and bought coffee, but I've turned a heel. (Even when I'm taking time off, I'm still a Domestic Goddess.) Once you do that, you're home free when it comes to knitting socks. Now I just have to pick up the slipped stitches, decrease and finish off the puppy. I might even be able to wear them tomorrow.
This pair of socks that I'm knitting have come out of a book that I found in the bargain section at Barnes and Noble. It is knit out of a sport weight yarn that is one hundred percent cotton, so they will be really nice when they are done. This pattern has been really easy to follow, and I already have a pattern picked out for what I'm going to knit next. I've actually added a number of things to my Ravelry queue. I'm pretty excited about everything I've got coming up in the next couple of months. (Including starting my PhD program tomorrow!)
