KAL for socks!

Whoa Nellie, what a week so far but I can't complain....it's piddly stuff but it has left me tired and behind.
I'm on my second sock....you guys have all probably knit 8 pair by now but.....I'll catch up....someday.
This second sock got frogged 4 times.....okay, so I guess I can't watch t.v. and knit......yet.
But now that I knit like a monk in total silence with my chair facing the wall and with blinders on, I'm doing pretty well.  I'm on STEP #3 of 6 or 7 if you count the fancy weave to even out the top of the cuff at the end.
I just turned the heel......this is showing the wrong side

 here's the right side....amazing!  I now know the difference between the two!!!!

As the gal in my Very Pink video states..."I told you the foot was a weird body part to knit for".  I didn't mention to her that there might be a few others.
Meanwhile, I've been reading the loveliest book of essays on knitting called "Knit Lit" which I thought I would share with you since I am sure you are SO tired of looking at my same old sock(s)....thank goodness we only have 2 feet or you'd REALLY be sick of my pictures.  
My friend Sue, the book fairy, gave this to me and I think this might be the second time I'm reading it I so enjoy it.  Is it wrong to photograph a knitting book on a crocheted background?
  I hope you are all doing great with your socks and I will check in to see later! Toodles!

  1. Your sock is looking good...a foot is a funny shape to knit for isn't it! When you see the heel appearing, it makes you wonder where it came from, well, it did me anyway!

    I wish I were a reader, I love the idea of reading books, but I am rubbish at it, I don't concentrate, I put books down and don't pick them up again....there's no hope for me as a reader! Maybe I should pay one of the kids to read to me!

    Have a happy knitting weekend.

  2. Sock looks great, the book looks great, and I am love with the wall outlet pluggy-in thing in your previous post. I need to get myself to Walmart and get one for my kitchen--constant battle there between can opener, coffee grinder, food processor and crock-pot!

  3. Your sock is looking good...a foot is a clever shape to weave for isn't it! At the point when you see the heel showing up, it makes you wonder where it originated from, well, it did me at any rate!
