The Next Step Sock KAL

Happy Valentine's Day from a sunny but 55 degreed San Francisco!

Thank you for the infinity scarf props. Kim is excited! I'm so glad I invested in the mats and lace blocking set. They sure can do wonders.


Sock #1 has progressed very well...

...the heel's turned:

.

I picked up 17 sts for the gusset. It should be a good knit and not have any little holes showing.

I then got to start on the gusset decrease:

.

I had to think for a bit on these two parts as the pattern's written for Magic Loop. But I was able to modify for DPNs. 

To check out more awesome socks in progress, click over to the Cwtch's.

But before you do, this is what has been goin' on in my kitchen:


Top: Cheese & Green Onion Quesadillas on Organic, Whole Wheat Tortillas

My husband really liked the Navy Wife's recipe. The girls and I found it okay because the flavor wasn't as strong. I think it's awesome how buttermilk is such a great tenderizer though and is something new I've learned and will use before making pork and poultry.

Bottom: A quick version of Rachel Ray's 2008 Real Dogs Eat Quiche = I had forgotten the Half & Half which is why the quiche was so low in the pie crust.
Valentine's Quiches, using the same recipe (used Hofbrau sausages and Mexican mixed cheese instead) & done the right way = One for Princess Chocolate Cupcake's teacher & one for my honey

Are you ^^ salivating?

  1. Woo-hoo for socks! I'm sad it's only 55 by you...it's 67 over here today. That's kind of sad because it's only 10 miles away (as the crow flies)...I suppose having all that extra love from the Bay will do that :)

Probably should eat some breakfast. ;-) I am pretty full of coffee so far and over seeing a math lesson whilst preparing a science one and sneaking in the reading of a blog post here and there. Muti-tasker, thats me. haha. Now all I want to do is knit. LOL The sock is looking very nice so far. xoxox

  5. hmm 55 degrees, we are just getting through a blizzard on the east coast! Since I have only completed a cuff on one sock..I am in awe of people who can write and modify patterns! I've made Rachel Ray's quiche... no one liked it...but I tried!

  9. I love the colours on the yarn you're using! Plus, the cuff looks really interesting. And this is the second time I've seen quesadillas today. I think the universe is trying to tell me something...
