sox update

Got both heels turned this afternoon, between bouts of attacking the english ivy completely covering (not anymore) the smokehouse, which needs a roof. Getting the ivy off it while trying not to rip up two clematis plants is the first step toward that roof. Then I left both heeled socks laying on the back porch glider while I made dinner, baked egg rolls & hamburger macaroni & cheese (hey, as long as the cholesterol & fat & salt are low, we can eat what we want), and each time I looked out the kitchen window my sox were still there, with Winston standing (laying) guard. Good cat.

After dinner I came to the computer desk intending to pick up the gusset stitches, but had to brush Shorty, Klutz, and Nameless first. You gotta have priorities, I tell ya.

Now that the gussets are picked up I have to go watch a movie.

I'm continuing the pattern on the instep, just because I want to, and because the foot is always the boring part, especially in stockinette. But I need to find something to do during the movie. Gusset decreases don't seem a reasonable movie project. Maybe swatch for my sweater?
