wooly progress

yesterday, the knitting companion & i spent time working on the
gift sock. they won't even fit me - so there's not a chance i can be
tempted to keep the socks !
this wool (dyed with Walnuts no less ! )
is divine to work with.

The knitting companion has a new teddy bear,
so he wasn't too interested in the wool for a change.

you might be wondering (or such) about the blanket seen below the sock.
my chum's grandma made it many years ago.
below, a heel in progress. I love this part of a sock.
instant Gratification. the rows go so quickly and i really feel like i'm making big progress at this stage. like it's not just a Tube anymore. it's really going to be a sock.



as i write this, montreal is having a light snowfall.
