Actually, I spent more time in the airports than I did on the airplanes, but I got a good three inches of Pirate-Husband’s second sock done while I was waiting for my delayed flights. I got a couple of comments in the airport:

Pirate-Husband was working at a job site in Bethesda today. From the top of the roof he surveyed the town. “There’s the Mongolian barbeque,” he said to himself, “I should eat there for lunch. And… I think I remember that there’s a yarn store right across the street.”
So before he went home, Pirate-Husband went over […]

Last night, just before bedtime, I grafted the toe of Pirate-Husband’s first sock and interrupted his viewing of a Superman movie (I couldn’t tell which one) for him to try it on. It fits almost right, which is good enough for a first try. He seems to be quite pleased with it!

I had over an hour yesterday to do nothing but sit and knit, with no interruptions, so I powered through the rest of the gusset decreases on Pirate-Husband’s sock and got about an inch past them and into the foot before I had to put the sock down. It seems so big compared to the […]

While Pirate-Husband worked on rebuilding the fish pond yesterday (with help from a friend), I sat on the deck, switched CDs as necessary, made sure they were drinking enough water, and knit on his sock. I am in the middle of the gusset decreases now, and the pond is being filled.
There was a semi-local SnB […]
