Forced Idleness

What to do when the doctor tells you that you're to be out of work for the rest of the week and you are to do nothing? Knit, of course! Only 10 days after finishing the first sock, which took me about 3 months to make, I've finished the second sock. The pattern is Lacy Mock Cable Socks and the yarn is Fortissima/Socka...in some gray/brown/white colorway. The label is gone, so I don't remember. I did make a number of mistakes on the second sock, which I'm attributing to muscle relaxants and pain meds...shouldn't wield needles under the influence, I guess!


So now, the biggest question for the remainder of my days on the couch is what to make next? I can't decide on which Socks That Rock yarn to cast on next...

Friends don't let friends drink and knit.... or something like that.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Looking forward to seeing you and Grace tonight.

Love those socks -- I really need to finish that second one so I can do another pair! I'd szay the orange/corals. But that yellow is so cheery -- and the blue...oh, darn. I'm no help!
