Toe On!

One toe-sock down and one to go!  

I used Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off for my sock. Cat Bordhi does a great video tutorial here. It works great. I did increase my needle size from 0 to 1 for the bind-off.

Immediately after binding off the first sock, I started the second one. 

The toe is done! And, I'm zipping right along toward the heel.

In this picture, you see my finished sock and the start of the second sock - the toe done with Judy's Magic Cast-on. Cat again shows you how here. You also get to see my Emergency Knitting bag that is just perfect for sock projects.

Last  Sunday, we got the boat wet. That's about all we were able to do because shortly after - very shortly after - leaving the dock, Andy checked to see how much gas we had in the tank. Less than 1/4 tank. It was a super short cruise.

Caesar Creek Lake is very small compared to what we were used to in Virginia. It's still water and relaxing! We missed the fall color along the shoreline but will catch it next year.

The boat ran really well. Andy had to spent about a week or so working on it - we haven't had it in the water in about two years and it needed some attention. Here he is circling around to get it up on the boat trailer.

Tomorrow --- SATURDAY! Yoga, knitting, and a NEW yarn shop opens in Mason, OH!!! 126 West Main Street to be exact. Look for Main Street Yarns and there's plenty of parking in the back! I'll be sure to report back on the shop. I've already had a sneak peek and it's GREAT! Spacious, bright, and a good location with other interesting places to visit on the street.  Stay tuned for pictures!

Lovely sock :) I find toe up a bit more difficult so have mainly been doing cuff down.

Love your sock! I need to knit a pair of toe-ups for my friend for Christmas. My Christmas gift knitting is very small this year. Last year, it was too much to knit for everyone.

The sock is lovely! I was just at the new shop and it's very nice. Had a great time "fondling" all the new fiber.

Told you that you could do toe up! Now you need to do it two at a time and it will transform your life!! Glad to see you are doing well and still having fun!
