~ Joining in again for Small Thing's weekly Yarn Along ~
This week, I'm back to the vanilla sock I'm making for my Father-in-law. This one seems to be barely crawling along, probably because I tend to ignore it for more exciting knitting. Also, I got past the heel turn, and decided I wasn't going to have enough yarn, and ripped back. I had a lone ball of dark yarn in my stash, and it's working just fine for the heel (and eventually, the toe). I have started carrying this project around with me - it's small enough to fit in my purse, and I can manage to work on it a little bit here and a little bit there, as I go about my days.
The book is one I found through Whichbook, and it's very cute. Told from the perspective of a family dog, it's funny and sweet and a little bit sad, all at once. I'm so glad I found Whichbook!
Socks seem to crawl for me no matter how exciting the pattern. It looks great!

I've been saving leftover sock yarn to do the contrasting heel and toes. I like the black heel.
I've also been knitting a bit here and there these days and I would love to get back to some reading too :)
have a great weekend, Charity!

I forgot about the yarn along again this week - I must be getting old and forgetful, LOL!
I haven't made an adult pair of socks in a long time, but I did get a couple of kids sized ones done earlier this year. I'm still on my hat knitting craze and am just about finished my 3rd once since my last blog post (which has a hat pattern of my own). I really need to make something other than hats and change things up a little, LOL!
