It's officially Socktober

LollyKnit was the inspiration behind Socktoberfest and this year's progress can be followed here.

What a cheery world of appendage warmers! A pair of pins creating something for a pair of pins (as we call 'legs' up North).

I have had the worst cold for a long time (and that's saying something - I have the immune system stength of a soggy mitten): I have cleanly lost 4 days of my life to 'Day Nurse' and decade-old repeats of Dawson's Creek. Absolutely hideous (both the cold and Dawson...). Today is the first day that I've been able to peel off the PJs and think about eating more than a piece of toast. Sigh. (I should have guessed something was up at last Tuesday's pub knit - I started coughing but thought I'd just furballed on some of my fluffy Alpaca wool...)

The good news is that I have finished my first sock. Hurray. If I had the energy to do a little dance - I would. As it is, I'm off to wring out a handkerchief (which is a great pity, as they're beautifully embroidered ones from the wonderful Vintage to Vogue: 28 Milsom Street, Bath. But they do give some cheer to my pestilence).
