The sun was pouring into our house this afternoon and while I ate lunch I tried to decide what I wanted to work on while it was here: sewing? knitting? quilting? my remaining December Daily pages? ... I eventually settled on knitting, because I could sit in the sunniest room in the house to do it, and my Swing Set socks.
I got all settled in my armchair with a cup of tea nearby and a blanket on my lap. Abby came to join me.* My goal was to get half way through the foot of my second sock but the living room was so pleasant and sunny and I got into such a nice rhythm that by the time the last spots of sunshine had left the room I was ready to kitchener the toe.
I did have to get up and look around to find my darning needle but it doesn't take long to graft a pair of toes and hide the corresponding ends.
And the best part ... I've got yarn leftover.
I was almost sure I was going to run out of yarn when I started these socks, since I'd already knit a pair of booties from this skein but I think I've probably got enough leftover for a second pair of booties (or plenty of darning). I'll take some proper on-my-feet pictures and do a project wrap-up tomorrow when I can take advantage of the sun again.
*Abby didn't actually stay on my lap all afternoon. She was just there every time I got out the camera.
