3 1/2 Pairs of socks

Socks

I managed to finish the first chain link and started the second. I still have work to do on the heel, but the toe came out just as I wanted. Grafting 30 stitches is not hard after doing several lengthwise socks. I really like the lack of ridges on the sides, now to just make the bumps a bit smoother where the wraps occur.

The first sock and start on the second

This makes the 7th sock since the start of Summer of Socks 2007.

The rest of the day was not exciting, except for one of my colleagues stopping by for lunch, just to make sure I was doing ok. Otherwise it was errands day. And nothing in the mail.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
