First sock done.. too bad, I would have enjoyed a pair of them today. When your feet are a size 9, you should get extra credit points, like a second book report or something. If I were a size 5, I’d be wearing both of them..
Putting the water rock out on the steps yesterday morning
was the kiss of death. This morning, the
water is frozen… solid as the rock it’s in. The temperature was 24!! I don’t want any of you far to the northerners to misunderstand.. that would be
Fahrenheit. It’s windy and it’s
COLD! Gloves, hats, scarves.. the whole shebang. C put on his insulated jeans before going out
in the field to fertilize the trees. Poor Bu wants to be outside so badly she’s curled into a little ball in
a sunny spot against the back of the house. I’ll think about you all in NY who will be enjoying those 80 degree
temperatures, they mentioned on this mornings news. Me, I have another shot at wearing a hand
knit hat.

Me, too….size 9. Sometimes socks can take fooorrreeeverrr. We still have r.a.i.n…bleh.
Oooh. I am really impressed. Dare I be frank? I have never made socks. Okay, I have never made one sock. When I see socks like this I contemplate throwing crocheted lace over and starting to knit socks. However, I can’t til I finish this tablecloth coz it’s a wedding present for M’s neice. Her choice of wedding date? June 18. I have other plans so I am making the tablecloth to satisfy my desertion of chapel for the spiritual pilgramage to the Mountains of Estes Park and the wool market there in the company of others seeking enlightenment (Anne and Margene )
Lovely!! What’s the pattern? I feel your pain on the sock length, even though I’m only an eight – that’s why a nice lace pattern on the foot helps keep you interested.
Pattern? What’s the pattern? And yes, I do think you get extra credit for the size. I always knit big guy socks in thick wool for that reason, otherwise they’d never get finished.

OH yeah. I’m a size 10 wide, I completely know what you mean. I usually have to rewrite the pattern anyway.
Sympathies from another big-foot. I don’t know what a 9 is in my lanugage, but I’m a 42 in european sizings. Please share the low down on the pattern with us!
ps I am a new reader and am enjoying reading about your life and the life that exists around you (Otters! and Moose! wow!!).
I hear your pain. I wear a 10, and so does my 12 year old daughter. I envy those who can knit socks for size 5 or 6. I knitted socks for a male friend of mine in sock yarn – size 12 – yikes!
love that sock!!
Do you mind sharing the pattern name? I’m making my first pair of socks for a 9 1/2 size foot. I love the challenge–hoping to make something other than stockette stitch!!
