Thoughts: For some reason, I had a really hard time getting the ribbing pattern into my head. I think that I need to do ones with all the rows the same if this is going to be my mindless knitting.

I took this picture of the socks snuggled up together before Caleb and I ran errands (including to Ikea for a wonderful cinnamon bun):

I took this picture after we came back:

I'm almost finished. I have the toe-tightening, weaving in the ends, and finishing up the top of the second sock. The end is in sight!

The ribbing took so long because it's two rows, one of which is only slightly different from the other; Row 1 is K, Row 2 is K3 P1. I can't get up a good rhythm like I can with normal ribbings.

I've now sent in my registration for the Institute where I learned the ribbing pattern I'm using for the School's Out Socks. I feel this means I really ought to get them finished up.


Caleb and I went on a hike on Saturday, and I worked on the knitting on the way there and back. I'm now about halfway through the post heel section of the sock.

Providence has eight inches of snow, so things are rather shut down now. I may actually get a little more done today in between doing school stuff and research.
