So, exactly how much knitting can you complete when you have little else to do except knit? Here’s the picture of the sock I started on Thursday:

I spent at least two hours knitting on them yesterday and close to four hours on them today:

I’m turning the heel. How do I know how much time I spent on the socks? Yesterday is an estimate, but today I watched: Thursday night’s Grey’s Anatomy, Wednesday night’s Bones, Rome episode two, and The Sentinel pilot. To add to the tv marathon I’m guessing I’ll be watching either Deadwood (season 1), Ugly Betty or Studio 60 tonight. I should be able to turn the heel during that.

I’m on tv overload, but it is nice to get caught up. (Feel free to email me if you want to talk about tv. I have a lot to say, but I doubt if my dear readers are that interested in my viewing habits).

Now, you know how I get so much knitting done. I sit, watch tv, and knit. I guess that’s better than just watching tv.

Back to Sock Talk. I’m not sure I like the way the sock has made a swirl with the purple. I’m going to make the second sock in a different rib pattern. The first sock is K1, P1. (You already knew I’m not one for convention; matching socks is not a priority). I’m thinking maybe K3, P1, though I could be talked into K2, P2. Hummm. Or, maybe just stockinette? That would be faster.

Any other options anyone would like to offer?
