a story of a sock

Still plugging away at the sock for my sister. I started it on magic loop, two at a time - that didn't last - and I continued on one sock. Halfway through the leg, I switched to a 9 inch circular, and learned the heel method for those needles (easy.) I have learned to rip back rows (and still have all my stitches,) and repair a dropped stitch (more than once,) all on this sock! I have knit on them in hospital recovery rooms twice now (once during my own recovery - hence the dropped stitch!) I am only making the one until my sister can try them on, because I am afraid they might be too big. *sigh*
Her sock tells quite a story. I have been distracted from it by countless baby gifts and birthday presents that I have knitted since I began knitting the sock.

Most recently, these - simple garter stitch slippers for my baby with her chillllly feet! When I started the very easy pattern, I couldn't figure out how they would fit, until I put one on her, then it was revealed! Fun, and I finished them this morning. When she wakes up from her nap, I will test them out on her (I hope she'll keep them on...)

I've got the toe still to do on my sister's sock, and she will be visiting early next month - plenty of time...
