After spending the weekend in Knitting Time out (both me and the sock!) I ripped back on Monday and started the process of adding more inches to the Sock of Doom.
I fearfully began the decreases and stopped. There would be NO MORE RIPPING of this sock. I waited for the Large Footed Recipient to get home from work and try it on before I went any farther.
Sock One is done. Now all I need to do is cast on for the second one.
Perhaps a queuing up of the Gilmore Girls on Netflix (which, by the way, I never watched…) will make the second sock less painful than the first.
In the reading department, I have two books in the finished column:
- Ashes in My Mouth, Sand in My Shoes by Per Petterson
- The Shepherd’s Life: Modern Dispatches from an Ancient Landscape by James Rebanks
I loved both of them! They were dynamically different but each were fantastic reads. I highly recommend both of them.
I am listening to Clara read Knitlandia to me; I am about halfway through and I am thoroughly enthralled!
I begun The Year of Living Danishly and I also started reading another Karin Fossum novel – The Murder of Harriet Krohn. No thoughts on either yet as I am just a few pages in on both.
However, the reading might have to wait because on my task list for today is to turn these beauties into an oven roasted applesauce.
What’s on your agenda today?
you’re continuing to inspire me to get back into the kitchen – thank you! (you are not at all inspiring me to knit socks, thankyouverymuch 😉 My daughters and I are HUGE fans of the Gilmore Girls. I think the main reason Sara is visiting for Thanksgiving is to watch the new release with me and Katie on Friday. Highly recommend.
Roasted applesauce? Oh, my. That sounds wonderful! (And I never watched either.)
Roasted applesauce sounds amazing! Quick – get that other sock cast on – lol.
I love the gilmore girls and I didn’t watch them either when they were aired on tv. I hope you are rocking out that sock knitting 🙂
Oh my, this post is so “FALL-ish” – the color of your yarn and the apples!! Such beautiful shades!
I wish I was home knitting instead of at work dealing with baloney! hahaha!
Oh my, I have never heard of Oven-Roasted Applesauce, but that could not be more up my cooking alley!! Yum.
I share your interest in Scandinavian mysteries. I just finished The Preacher by Camilla Lackberg and today started The Indian Bride by Karin Fossum. As a person of Danish heritage, I’d love to hear more about the Living Danishly book.
Work 🙁 I hope you’re going to show us more about the applesauce! (I never watched either.)
Nice sock. I am thinking this is a Man Sock? Those are extra difficult, I find.
Wishing you all the best with your applesauce.
well done finishing sock one! Netflix is great for knitting when the knitting is hard to get through 😉 hope you enjoy Gilmore Girls! Knitlandia is on my list…i keep picking it up and looking at it when i get to go to barnes and nobles… someday!
Roasted applesauce!? That sounds amazing! Hope the sock progress goes well and you’re soon finished with the greatsocks!
Very nice seasonal sock yarn! Stewing all our garden apples is on my list for this weekend too. I think I’m just going to fill the slow cooker and let it do its magic. My little boys love apple crumble, and I have plenty of apples to supply them through the winter!
