Sickies need socks

I’m still trying to shake this stupid cold I’ve got. I’m still feeling stuffy and slow. When I realized near the end of my work day that I hadn’t had the urget to knit, I got worried.

Then I decided that maybe it’s because what I’m knitting is the cabled leg warmers I’m designing and a) I have to think a lot as I calculate changes and b) I started on them when I was getting sick and I’m still sick, and maybe I needed something new.

So I pulled out a ball of yarn I wound last fall and finally cast on the socks I’ve been intending to make with it:

Francie Socks - casting on

I’m making the pattern Francie using the yarn “Reinvent”. Because it’s based on traveling ribs, it seems like it’s a pattern that will be most clearly visible when on your foot and stretched out.

Oh, and I’ve decided to sign up for one of those “instagram” accounts all the kids have these days (actually, I’m feeling smug that I think this is a social media thing my dad doesn’t have before me): https://www.instagram.com/jayebird_17/

    1. Turns out I was wrong. Instagram just failed to find it using the contacts list on my phone. However, he has never posted anything so I beat him to first instagram post.
