My Sock Update

Well, we didn't need to work on the plumbing! Putting the stopper in the tub and filling the sink with hot water on Friday was how my hubby left the house for work. I'd been using the sink in the bathroom until his call saying not to. Yesterday when he got up to look at it, the clog had managed to free it's self and move though the pipes to the soil stack pipe that leads out of the house and to somewhere I don't know. So that turned out to be the best plumbing job we've were had to tackle! I love when things fix themselves!

That meant that yesterday Hubby worked on the bathroom project upstairs while I knit. I have to help get tools and stuff so, I knit when I'm not needed for that part of the job. I worked on my sock for a bit. I was able to turn the heel by my self and start the instep. Here's right after I turned the heel yesterday.

It's coming along pretty well. Can you see my new stitch markers in the picts? I love them! I really wanted to get fancy ones since this sock is kind of a fancy thing for me! I'm so into my socks that I went and bought more sock yarn yesterday. I decided that I can knit a pair like this for my Mom for Christmas... I need to get started if I'm knitting gifts for Christmas! I got her the same yarn, but the color scheme is softer blues, pinks and greens. I think it's more her style... I also got this really loud and obnoxious blues, oranges, greens and yellows for me!

Here's how sock number 2 of this color looks this morning. I hope to get up to the toe decreases by tonight and get them done this week!
