Thus, I report to all and sundry, the same thing that I posted last week. I knit endlessly on the Chevron Stripes Towel. It seems to be getting bigger and I take that as a good sign. I'll have it finished for Christmas with no problems.
Now, the sock...that's another story. Fortunately, I only knit socks for myself. I have decided that "heel flap issues" are no longer going to be categorized as my ever-repeating error. No, they are now my signature style. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. This pair is going to sport something of a gap at the heel that mysteriously appeared while I was busy knitting the flap. It wasn't there when I started. It materialized when I began picking up the stitches. I'm not asking questions. "Signature Style." We're calling it the "Ventilated Sock." I'm hoping it will catch on...
However, when photographing the weekend's progress, I have found that it is helpful to put a few distractions in the shot. This way, until the ventilation thing becomes the norm, I can avoid having to explain the whole "signature style" thing repeatedly.
"I like to help out when I can..."
I'm off to settle comfortably back into my rut! I don't know what I'll do when this towel is finished. I may have to start another just to stay in the old "comfort zone!"
Have a great week, everyone!

It worked. I don't see any ventilation holes at all. :) your sock looks good!
Today I ripped out my daughter's sock. One less project to finish! :) Actually, it was a bit tight and we decided I should knit a different sock. What a relief!
Sock and towel look great on my monitor, too.
You might have better luck marketing your vented sock style further south than Maine, where ventilation comes in handy 9 months out of the year.
Your towel and sock look fantastic! The kitty is my favorite, though.
I threw out my back jumping on our giant trampoline this evening, so I've updated my blog at last, seeing how I can't move from the couch where my husband set me down after carrying me in from the trampoline. Boy that was a long sentence...the pain meds must be kicking in. The word "sentence" looks funny, did I spell it right? I'd better go before I start writing an ode to your helpful kitty.
The sock and towel look wonderful.
I like my rut so I call it a lifestyle. The most recent shake-up has been trying but the rut is returning:)

First time commenter here -- thanks for the chuckle this morning. The kitty is very very cute! (The sock and the towel ain't bad either.)
I haven't started a blog as yet - so I'm still anonymous --

Yes, this is definitely my kind of distraction LOL....Your kitty is so lovely and the knitting looks pretty darn good too. The marvels of photography eh???
Huggs, G
Kitty is too cool
I want that kitty. Hand he / she over and no one gets hurt. Failing that I'll trade you a goat.
Rut? What rut? I agree with the term "lifestyle". Or maybe you're in the groove.
