House socks in progress
women's size 10
July 2017 |
I haven't done much knitting since my surgery: it has been too hard to knit when my eyelids are constantly flapping closed and sleep takes over. On Saturday, I managed to finish one sock - knit with size 6 needles and a light worsted yarn.

Sue came over on Independence Day with lunch, and as we visited, I finished the second sock.

It feels good to knit again and to finish a project.
Welcome back to knitting! Those are very pretty - love the colors in them. I've been thinking of trying a worsted weight sock...imagine they go much faster than regular ones.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a finish! Well and a start too. It never fails that when I have to sit still or not do much I'm not interested in any of my hand projects. Glad the knitting has caught your attention.
ReplyDeleteThe look great. Glad you are feeling up to knitting again. Surely that means things are looking up!
ReplyDeleteSocks are comfort knitting, aren't they?! I have never used worsted to make socks; I should give it a whirl! Nice inspiration!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty socks. I had to smile when you described your eyelids slamming closed. I definitely remember that feeling after my last surgery experience. You need the drugs to stay ahead of the pain, but they make you so sleepy. Glad you are able to knit again already.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your progress Nancy! Back to knitting. Ahhhhhhh. That feels so good. I love your smarts for a thicker sock and seeing progress. THey are lovely. Is their Physical therapy to come yet?
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad you are knitting again and healing, my friend. Your socks look great, I love this length. Health and happiness to you.
ReplyDeleteHooray! They look nice and cozy - I would save them for the winter!
ReplyDeleteI think you have done wonderfully well to get this project done so soon after surgery.
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue to make good progress and that your knee will give you a new spring in your step.
Glad you're back to knitting. It seems like you enjoy it so much. Nice socks. They look very soft.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are perking up! What a speedy finish, too! Love the color also. Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are feeling able to knit. When you start quilting I'll know you are nearing complete recovery. The socks are beautiful colors! Prayers for healing still coming your way!
ReplyDeleteI do know how you feel! Surgery is exhausting!
ReplyDeleteBack to knitting! Good for you!
