One Sock!  Okay, I promise I won’t keep posting pictures of sock progress, but this is just so exciting to me to have completed one whole sock.  And it looks like a sock.  It fits like a sock.  It IS a sock!!!

I never thought I’d be posting a picture of my pasty-white leg on the Internet, but there it is.  Twice!  Sorry about that.  (Just be glad I’m knitting for my feet and not for any other part of my body.)  Now I just need to do cast on and do it all over again.  Our weather is supposed to turn on us by the end of the week.  They are even using the four-lettered word that starts with “s” and rhymes with “NO!!!”

Voting went so well this morning.  It only took us 15 minutes at the polling place, but we went about 10:15, so I think the morning rush was over and the noon rush hadn’t started yet.  So we celebrated by having a late breakfast at IHOP. 

Well, I probably will have to post one more sock picture: when I have a whole pair completed!  I wish I could give Grandma Ida a big hug for all the knitting she did for us kids.  We would always get either mittens, gloves, or skating socks for Christmas, and tucked inside would be a shiny silver dollar.  And she had such a good eye for color.  She didn’t just knit — she knitted beautifully, and she made beautiful things.  Thinking of you today, Grandma.
