Armed with a wealth of information from the Internets and support from my powerful allies - the sock knitters, I present my first sock. Not first pair of socks, just the first sock. Like all newbie sock knitters, I am now prancing around my apt at 2:00am no less, wearing one sock. And hot damn, taking pictures of your own foot without trembling like jello is hard work. Let me provide you with a verbal description - I’ll spare you the visual on this one.
****Now.. imagine a dog pissing. Got it? Okay, now imagine the dog pissing, in the same position, but lying down (belly-up)on the floor. *****
That was the pose I had to take in order to provide my geisha sock for your viewing pleasure. You may now laugh….(30 secs later)… okay, that’s enough laughing. Moving on..
Another mindless knitting project is a 7 ft monster that is the love-child of Crazy Aunt Purl. BF is moving to Canada and he needs a warm alpaca scarf around his neck soon, and a warm alpaca scarf he shall receive.
Okay, I shall now go to bed with one sock on foot, and an empty glass of wine. Happy weekend everyone!
Edit: The Geisha Sock has a fraternal twin!

Yay! Congratulations! I was the same way, contorting my body to take pics and wearing one sock all day long. Isn’t it a great feeling? And your sock looks fantastic!
