I finished on Wednesday at Jonathan's Physical Therapy session. We learned a few weeks ago that his muslcle system in and around his ankle hasn't strengthened since coming out of the cast. While he has outlawed knitting at his basketball games, he can't complain about me knitting while I wait for him to finish PT! He has PT 3 times a week that equals 3 extra hours of knitting!
Yesterday, Thursday, I started the second sock at #2 son's basketball game but I blundered the cuff somehow and had to rip it out - it's ok, more practice.
Hopefully, I'll have a new pair of socks to wear this Sunday at #1 son's theatre rehearsal dinner that I'm organizing. Yes, it is true, I have no social life, thank goodness for knitting!

Those are gonna be some damn nice Jaywalkers.
The sock looks wonderful!
My favorite instructions for Kitchener are in "The Purl Stitch" by Sally Melville. For some reason, those are the only ones I understand!
Cute socks!!! I can't wait until I try my first pair!
Nice socks! You blundered the cuff, because of the "basketball curse." :)
Check out the knitty website for some great instructions on the Kitchener stitch. I just finished my first sock and used these instructions.

Great job on the socks! Here from Heidi's blog.
Gorgeous!I am so proud of you for pressing on and beating the sock instead of letting it beat you.Way to go girl!
Amazing socks!! I LOVE the colors! I bet you can't wait to have them on your feet! Great job!
Those socks look perfect! Love the colors. Very nice knitting :)
happy knitting :)
the color is great. i love the bright fuchia. your socks rock!
Good for you--those are great colors!
Who needs a social life when you have knitting? If you did wouldn't that cut into your knitting time?
The Jaywalkers turned out great. Bet you'll be wearing them everythere and pulling up your pant leg saying, "I made these all by myself" for a couple weeks. I know I would.
Your socks turned out great!! And the color is just awesome!!
