    Kazowie String - them are some pretty fancy hose you've got going there! Sleep in, stay up late and be sure to enjoy your time off between sessions.

    String I was one really big problem with those hose.




    They weren't being knit for me. Other than that they are great. I am impressed.

    They have kilt camp we need to get a knit camp going. From the expertise being shown here we could have a number of teachers.

    What you can't see in this is that I think both my legs would fit in this sock... but I didn't try. I do have some concerns about the top fitting, as knitting stretches more to side to side than from top to bottom, but this may be my fit paranoia kicking in.

    What I need to do is find someone with similar measurement and try it on them, but right now it's my dad's poor swollen legs from his medicine, or my chicken legs.
    WOOO-HOOO!!!! They be beautiful!

    I suppose Mr. Yeti is nowhere to be found 'till you get back to school?

    P.S. Don't forget that the recipient's definition of "recreation" includes hurling 56 pound rocks about the countryside. I.e. trust the measuring tape.

    Looks like you did a fantastic job, String.
    That is a nice sock. Looks dead comfortable.

    Thank you for all the complements and encouraging remarks. I may be getting a big head from all the bragging on me.

    He is coming home on Wednesday, I have not seen him since December 14th. This may interfere with sock progress.

    KIP: Knit in Public, verb, to knit anywhere, everywhere, all the time. In class, In church, at home, in the car. I do this. Anytime I am sitting or standing still the knitting is there, I am the queen of the multitask and I find knitting can happily replace many activities such as sleep, washing dishes, folding laundry... Yeah, I might be just a wee bit obsessed.

    *raises eyebrow* It might, it might not, at the very least I'll have a 2 hour car ride on Friday. Sadly even before he arrives home (4 days!) I am stalled by a yarn shortage, I have more on the way but I have knit all I can until the mail comes.

    I have knit this far on the second sock.

    Good luck, String. Hadn't seen you posting for a while.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
