Plugging Along on the SocksAs far as I can tell, I spent 99% of my knitting time yesterday knitting and re-knitting the ribbing on the first greek sock. I felt rather like Goldilocks (although she managed to figure things out faster than I did!) First, it was too loose. Then, it was too short AND too loose. Then it was the right length, but still too loose. Finally, I figured out how many to decrease, and managed to finish those off without too much swearing. At least I wrote down what I did (after liberal use of white-out), so hopefully the second sock will go smoothly. I'm hoping to finish by the weekend so I can give them a nice bath in watermelon kiwi koolaid.
I'm still debating what I should start next- I feel like I *should* work on my dad's vest for Christmas, but I might jump into another pair of socks. Or maybe I'll double up since the vest, with all of its cables, will not necessarily be suited for travelling. Plus, since I'm basically making up the pattern as I go along, I'll probably need a bit more concentration.
I'm definitely firmly into "lame duck" status at work. Including today, I will physically be sitting in my office for a total of 17 more days. {sigh}.
