I made a sock! And I cast on for the second one.
Because even I need a change of pace from the fair isle...
When I get some better lighting, I'll photograph it for you. It's blue and orange and fabulous - made from Schaeffer Anne. And since I have huge-ass feet, I knit almost all of it on a 12" long Addi - US1 - so it went really fast. AMazing how much faster it is to knit a sock when you don't have to switch from needle to needle. Quite a lot of fun! You see, I knit the whole big ole sock in less than 5 days!
And what else.... hmm... Good news from my boss at work. A promotion of sorts, at least in the prestige department. I don't think it will come with a raise, but it's still a big deal and I'm excited about that. And, have you ever watched the movie "Madagascar"? It's really cute. I watched it on my TiVo tonight while I was finishing up the sock. Great fun!
Now it's time to either go to sleep or to start the next sock. Hmmmmm.

When I finish the toe of the first sock, I don't put the needles down until I have cast on the mate. That way I avoid the second sock syndrome so many others are plagued by.
