To prove to you that I still knit, I present a finished object.

The first sock was cast on sometime last year.  When I was about 6 months pregnant or so, my doc didn’t want me to drive anymore.  Very short person (who needs to drive with the seat as far forward as it will go) with a very big belly equals a disaster if the airbag would’ve ever deployed.  Doug started driving me everywhere.  I typically finished work around 3:30 or 4.  He usually finished between 6 & 7.  See where this is going?  I needed something to do while sitting around waiting for him to pick me up.  Sometimes I read, sometimes I knitted.  I finished the first sock shortly before Liam was born.  I think that first sock is the one on my right foot.

Because I knit one of the socks while waiting for Doug, I’ve named these socks my Godot Socks (Waiting for Godot.  Get it?).

The second sock was finished in the car during our trip to New York last month.

No, they’re not identical socks.  I like them this way.  I may never knit another matchy self-striping pair again.  The pattern is a generic cuff-down pattern.  One inch or so of 2×2 ribbing at the cuff.  I bought the yarn at Lambikin’s quite a while ago; I have no idea what it is as the label is long gone.  The needles were US1 Crystal Palace bamboo DPN’s. 

One of these days, I’ll show my Nina cardigan.  I’ve only frogged it three times, the last time was last night.  Hmm, I think I’ll leave my issues for another post.
