Thanks to Jack Bauer and three episodes of "24" tonight I was able to get through 1 1/2 inches of leg, a heel flap and get the heel turned on sock #2.

The Sock We're All Sick Of Seeing

Don't you just love turning the heel? I love turning the heel. I wish someone would design a scarf with random heels placed all over it. It might be a bit lumpy but it sure would be fun to knit. Sock #2 is coming out much better than Sock #1 did. My ribbing is a lot tighter and my DPN's don't flop around nearly as much as they did before. And my two little edges for picking up the stitches for the gusset are both the same! What a concept.

You know what else I wish someone would invent? Besides a scarf covered in heels. A voice activated row counter. Something you could put on your table near where you knit and at the end of each row you'd just scream "DONE" or "FINISHED" and it would say, "Thank you Knitting Goddess, you have completed row 1,932." How complicated could it be to design something like that? They can put a man on the Moon but there's no such thing as a voice activated row counter? Where are our priorities? Of course, you'd have to leave your row counter at home whenever you went to a Stitch 'N Bitch. There's a recipe for disaster if I've ever heard one. Oh, I just thought of something else. The row counter would need to be of sufficient weight so that it wouldn't be knocked over by crazed cats doing laps in your apartment.

Ralphie

This is a picture for trek's little Neatnik who went to the aquarium yesterday. She saw all kinds of interesting fish and since Ralphie is utterly fascinating ... OK, that might be a bit of a stretch .. Since Ralphie is a fish as well I thought I'd post a picture for the Neatnik.

And last but by all means, not least ... A few days back when I posted my 100th post and was exclaiming about all the wonderful people I'd met since I started my blog I forgot someone. Well I probably forgot a lot of people but this person in particular should not have been missed. Well if you come right down to it, nobody should be missed. This could go on for days. Anyways, I forgot to mention *** MY OTHER SECRET PAL ***. Am I an idiot or what? Yeah, no more prezzies for YOU little Miss April.
