Damp and rainy here, but a whole lovely day ahead to do just what I want! Namely, work on the Frogger Sock. It was the Knitty Sock, but I've had to rip back more than once and Frogger stuck to it. After figuring out the math to get rid of 60 stitches, I proudly slipped the cuff onto my ankle to find it was way loose. So I've reduced another 15 stitches, said the hell with it, and started into the sock part. Wanted to do stranded K2, P2 ribbing for some vertical stripes but didn't like the look. I may try again after I get out from under the cuff. Sure hate the idea of a fancy cuff and a plain brown foot.
Meanwhile the herb garden needs attention. Though humidity and I don't get along, the herbs loved it! I've never seen such fat basil plants! After chopping off a lusty harvest, the husband cooked it up with his home grown tomatos into a marinara sauce to die for. He's gonna freeze most of it for winter. Mmmm!
What is it about knitting that you can't do just one project at a time? When I am annoyed with Frogger I've got a pair of lace stockings going made out of laceweight Zephyr. I could develop a passion for that yarn! It is a blend of Merino wool and silk and feels like heaven. I may be stuck with arch supports and flat shoes, but I'm gonna have some dazzling legs under my granny skirts!
