This is my new friend Sock. Sock comes pretty much everywhere with me lately.

I don’t have a lot of free time, so I have to steal a few minutes whenever I can to work on him. Oops, that sounds dirty. In order to make Sock, I am loosely following Silver’s One Sock on Four Double Pointed Needles Tutorial. It has lots of photos, so I can see what I am supposed to be doing. I just finished two inches of 1×1 ribbing and have switched to stockinette, which I’ll do for the next five inches. (Yes, the sock tutorial says to knit for eight inches in 2×2 rib. I told you I was following it loosely. Or tightly, as the case may be. I have little feet.)

I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen with the Sock Experiment. When people ask me what I’m knitting, I say, “I think it’s going to be a sock.” Because I’m really not sure.

If I feel worried about the sock, I calm myself down by petting my skein of Sea Silk until I feel better. I don’t know what colourway this is. Ocean? Capri? Anybody?

I also love petting the Manos del Uruguay Cotton Stria in Aqua, but I haven’t taken a picture of it yet.

Tomorrow Ria and I are going to meet at Tim Hortons and knit, and if the weather cooperates, we will continue knitting in King’s Square and freak out the muggles. Funfun. Ooh, and I won a skein of recycled cashmere in her blogiversary contest when her random number generator randomly picked me, so there’s even more fun. The fun just never stops around here… although I’m not sure it’s recognizable as fun to an impartial, sane outside observer.
