No picture today, but I do have two feet. The first sock now has a partial mate. It’s not time to count rows for the heel yet, but it’s almost time to be concerned that I don’t knit too long a foot before I turn the heel. My plan is to count the rows – easy because I switched color at the heel – to make sure I have both socks the same size.

Much of the last two weeks has been taken up by the Tour de France. I’ve spent my mornings either at work or watching the race. Housework has been neglected. Knitting productivity – for reasons previously discussed – has declined. Production of scrapbook embellishments has however, been rapid and varied.

Since the end of the tour – and on a couple days when I worked mornings and couldn’t see the tour – I have been back to making progress on the sock. I’m finding the stockinette foot of the sock progresses very rapidly. I’m also discovering that if I have a fiber project out where I can grab it, I’m likely to make progress in odd moments. With all the spinning in the pipeline – I’m not sure I’ve mentioned that yet – I need to find a way to leave the spinning wheel out and available for odd moments. This is a tiny apartment. A sock on the coffee table is one thing. A wheel and chair in the middle of the floor will be a very different story.

Sock pictures soon, but not tomorrow. As mentioned I owe you an entry – or two or three – about why the spinning pipeline has gotten so large. There is this double-ended crochet project on the double-ended hook which is not totally forgotten. There are garden adventures to be mentioned…

I can’t say I’ve been busy, but I can say I ought to be.
