Another Quick Sock Update

I spent the whole day knitting my socks. Joe's out of town so I've been on my own this weekend. I went out for a fast-food breakfast and after some biscuits with butter and jelly, I settled into the brightly lit booth and started working on the heel flap. (this is the 3rd time I've knit it....) I completed the heel flap in about 1 hour (I was knitting slowly so I wouldn't screw it up again) and since I was at a good stopping point, I packed up my things and went home. The dogs and I went out to the sewing barn and I continued working on the sock while they played in the yard.

  After working off and on over the next five or six hours, I've gotten past the heel flap, knit the gusset and decreases, and am on the foot, heading for the homestretch at the toe. I'm getting 7 stitches per inch on size 3 needles. They're kinda big, but this sock looks like its going to fit Joe just fine. I'm getting excited about finishing this one and getting the 2nd sock started!

I'm so jealous it looks like you are almost finished. I've been working on a shawl that is taking FOREVAH. Maybe I should go back to socks...gratification is so much sooner!
