One event down!

A Sockput for Team Minnesota!

I was shooting to finish these by midnight but the toe decreases went slowly. So, just as I watched the USA women's gymnastic team get their team Silver medal, I was kitchener stitching the toe. A complete Sockput for the Ravolympics and Team Minnesota!

It's a lousy photo, I know, but don't forget that I shorted the leg portion by 1 and 1/2 inches. That's why the leg and the foot look almost equal. The yellow marker shows where I started knitting from this afternoon. Perhaps I'll take some photos of the sock in action for another post.

Now, off to bed and tomorrow, the scarf!

Inching along

I was trying to get a good photo of the lovely instep - gosh, that Evelyn A. Clark writes a lovely pattern! - but this will have to do. I'm working on getting through most of the foot tonight. I'm hoping the mens' and women's swimming tonight will spur me on. I'm getting ready for my last tri of the season on Sunday and it's making me a little antsy. Supposedly, you're supposed to taper but that just makes me worry . . . maybe the knitting will help!
