pair of socksKnitting a pair of socks for my spouse.
It’s from a single skein of yarn that goes from light gray to gray to black. I split the skein up so both socks would end up being the same gray on the leg part, but it’s taking longer to get to the gray than I’d planned so they may have a pair of mismatched socks.
It’s the only way I’ve ever done socks. I admire people who have the willpower/drive to make a 2nd sock after the first one’s completely done, I know I’d just have a bunch of single socks.
Good luck with your socks! They’re one of my favorite things to knit.
lol I can see that. They’re meant to be hoagie sized but some ballooned more than others. Here’s what they looked like when made into sandwiches but I don’t know if that makes the size perspective any better.
Now that I’m not in the middle of having a very crap first day back at work and have come up with a workaround for image uploads, I’ll go more into my visit with this little cutie pie....
If you have a wildlife rehab place near you, you could volunteer there. You won’t get to be around the animals much until you’ve been there a while but even just observing intakes and exams you could gain more scientific knowledge. Owls suffer car collisions somewhat frequently.
As a side note, yet another reason not to throw your garbage out of your car, even things like apple cores and banana peels - it attracts mice and other rodents, which then draws the owls to hunt along the side of the road.
Vultures are some of my favorite animals (right up there with owls). I find them to be rather clever. One rehab place I worked at had child-proof locks on the cabinets because a resident (non-releasable) turkey vulture liked to break into them and “rearrange” the items.
I never worked with bats but I was always on alert when cleaning bird areas with the birds roosting above me. The parrot family especially, some of them seemed to be aiming for me lol.
Good on ya for recognizing a passion and taking steps to involve it in your life. Any rehab place would be lucky to have you.
First attempt at the fish lips kiss heel. I got stalled on these socks for a couple weeks because no matter how many times I read the instructions it didn’t make any sense to me. Plus I don’t get much time to knit most days, usually just 10-15 minutes while I’m waiting for my kid to get out of school....
Oof been there. Finished my first pair (toe ups), went to put them on, and found out I had done the bind off too tight and they couldn’t fit over my heel.
A few weeks ago I posted that my greyhound Greta was in the hospital, and so many of you left such nice comments and well wishes - thank you! She’s been back home for a couple weeks now and is doing great....
Almond flour currently at 100 grams, coconut flour at 50 grams, increased water by .25 cups. Topped it with diced coconut, almond flakes, and cinnamon...
I haven’t started on them yet. I’ve been dealing with some brain fog and can’t seem to wrap my head around the instructions atm. Hopefully it’ll ease up soon, I’m excited to continue these socks and I know my spouse is excited for a new pair of socks.
Thanks! I was able to finish the heel last night, I ended up finding a video of someone doing the heel and it finally clicked for me. I think it may be my new favorite heel, it was so easy and quick (only done flap and gusset before). Unfortunately I think the sock is too long but I have to wait til my spouse gets home from work to double check.

Lifeline is in so I’m ready to try the fish lips kiss heel for the first time. If you’ve done this heel before I’d love to hear how it went....
