Socks Are Coming Along Nicely..

But I have no idea what to call them. Since the pattern is a pretty basic lace stitch, I'm befuddled by the name.

The stitch pattern is k1, yo, k1, ssk, k2tog, k1, yo, k1 for row 1
Then Row 2 is knit around.

I did mine on 64 stitches, and it fits like a glove.
I did mine toe up using a figure 8 cast on and 10 wraps.
I did a modified short row heel, where I increased the stitch count to 36 to accommodate my high instep heels, and a "double wrap" technique for all except 14 stitches in the center of the heel and the outer stitches, then when I was on the last row of the heel, I decreased 2 stitches each side and re-worked the instep side, once around even, then decrease back to 32 stitches on the back on the next round.

Then I started working the stitch pattern on the whole leg.

It's going pretty fast. I'm hoping for a 7" leg at least, but I might be at 8" before I work the cuff. Presently, there are only 2" there, but tonight is Lake Odessa night and I will likely get quite a bit done.

Hubby and I slept like logs last night. I woke up 15 minutes early, and got started on my day. I haven't gotten much farther than coffee, and I'm thinking of returning under the covers because I'm chilled.

This evening, as I mentioned is Knit Night in Lake Odessa. I hope that more people show up. I'm a bit concerned that a few are making things very uncomfortable for some others. You know how it is: small town, wagging tongues at the local pub. I think that the owner would like to maintain the group, and not let it turn out to be a gossip fence, that might put some people off coming. I sit and listen with about half an ear to all of that, since I don't know anyone there.

My cat, Smokie, has a real fettish for showing off herself...
