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.
ReplyDeleteThe sock looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
ReplyDeleteNice socks! You blundered the cuff, because of the "basketball curse." :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out the knitty website for some great instructions on the Kitchener stitch. I just finished my first sock and used these instructions.

ReplyDeleteGood for you--those are great colors!
ReplyDeleteWho needs a social life when you have knitting? If you did wouldn't that cut into your knitting time?
ReplyDeleteThe 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!!
