We can finally see out the living room window...well we could see out before but it was all snow. At least now I can see trees and the sky and sunshine!
My socks are coming along. I have two pairs of socks going at once...that way I do stuff four times and maybe my old brain will "get it." I am just beginning the heel flap on this set above.
I am learning as I go...I am keeping notes...and keeping track of my rows.
I am reasonably glad I began this adventure in socks, when I get these four socks off the needles I will make a final decision about my ability to knit socks!
Far Side
That is great...look out your window! Eeeks! Sunlight. The snow is going fast here, just a lot left where the drifts were deep and in the woods and along the north hillsides. It is so muddy here!
ReplyDeleteThat must feel so good to be able to finally look out your window and see something besides snow. The new socks are looking good. I like the colors. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGlad the appointments are done for the week, and you can relax and enjoy working on your socks now. Hope you're pleased with the results. Also, glad you're starting to see more than just snow out of the window.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is anything you can't do. Your socks looks wonderful. And it's sure nice to see the snow beginning to melt even in your neck of the woods. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother week of appointments down. Good!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of snow yet. Love your socks! :)
Oh man, Connie.... that's still so much snow yet, darlin'. Yikes! I was outside spreading mulch this morning at 8am and it was 36 degrees. So at night I guess it could technically still now here in northwest Indiana but.... I'm glad it's not. :-) Love, Andrea xoxo PS~ Your socks are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI really admire you sock work! I tried some argyle once. There were a lot of colors hanging down on those little holders! I finished one but never finished its mate!
ReplyDeleteWorking on more than one sock at a time is a great way to cement the procedure in your mind. I've done that, too. Looks you're using Patons Kroy Sock yarn in the last photo. I love that yarn - it knits well, washes well, and wears well.
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing here. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteSo much snow! You are doing so good with the socks. I don't think there is anything you can not do once to decide to do it!
ReplyDeleteYour sock work is looking good! I bet you can't wait to try them on! Good job, Connie!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a long cold winter for us in Southern California. Just when I think that Spring is here, it rains again. Rain is easier to deal with than snow but I am not used to being cold and wet.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that I read you everyday and I appreciate the fact that the calendar is filled with appointments. Staying healthy and keeping the chronic conditions under control takes up a lot of time.
Would you like to trade for my torn rotator cuff.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks Red, I had a damaged rotator cuff...it was so painful.
DeleteYou have us beat in the snow front. We’re down to about 6 inches in the yard after the past week. It was 65° yesterday! Three days in a row of 60s took a big chunk out of the snow. It hasn’t even get below freezing recently. It’s much cooler today but still sunny. Your socks are coming along beautifully. I think you’re going to be a pro at them soon. Blessings,
ReplyDeleteI wish I could knit but could never get the hang of it
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a bank of snow outside your window, and it was higher?! Wow. I know nothing about knitting socks, but good for you for taking on the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI know you will be glad to see the end of the snow! I hope the physical therapy starts helping more...I should go back through your blog to see what happened for you to have to have the therapy.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the colors for the socks!
Goodness! Thankfully the snow in the twin cities is almost gone! I was worried reading your blog that we might have to battle mountains of snow. Hope spring comes a little quicker for you.
ReplyDeleteSnow is kind of nifty at the beginning at the season but now it is getting to be extremely a pain. I like all the blue things.
ReplyDeleteSorry you still have the pain to deal with. And thanks for wishing me well after my careless fall. I could kick myself but that would just hurt more. I wrenched my knee and that will take a bit to heal I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in your socks. You are doing so well for your first ones! My girls and grands love hand knit socks — bet yours will, too.
ReplyDeleteNo decisions needed. They look great!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you feel better soon! Look at you go with the socks! Maybe I should try learning your way. I just got my yarn today so I will be 'casting on' this week! We should have a Skype craft group....that would be fun! Especially for those of us who don't get out much! LOL!
