Unemployment makes me crafty?

I GOT WICKED SOCK-FU, BITCHES



(yeah, I got hairy legs)

The only reason I'm posting this, is that it took something like four tries to get this sock knit past the heel correctly and in the right gauge!! Normally, turning a heel is not something that deserves celebration. But I'm proud of this one, dammit.

The book I'm using to knit it is in the background. It's Cat Bordhi's New Pathways for Sock Knitters. The pattern is the Coriolis!

Toe-up socks are so awesome.

My left hand is sore.

I'll let you know when I'm done with this pair. If you pay for the yarn, we can talk about it. :^)

The amount of knitting in the picture, not including having to go back and fix mistakes, represents probably eight or nine hours of knitting. Possibly more. I try not to think about it. *lol*
