Wow was the weather awful today. I'm just glad I didn't have to go into work, although I did have to pick Kevin up at the train station this evening. I've never driven so consistently at 15 mph in my life. And to all the jerkwads who imitate the SUV ads that show professional drivers on closed courses driving recklessly fast in bad weather, I hate you.
But while it was sleeting/snowing/icing outside, I was engaged with an endless monsoon inside. Apparently the combination of skipping the cables and having a tiny foot yielded a 9 inch leg. I've seen others barely eek out a 5-6 inch leg. I'm a bit worried I didn't divide my yarn as evenly as I thought. Sock 2 may only have a 3 inch leg.
Since it is an Inside Out reversible sock, here's both views...
And here's the sock watching Kevin play God of War II:
This picture apparently also shows off our TV on DVD collection down in the right-hand corner. Can you identify all 15 shows? (Which isn't quite fair because a few aren't completely visible).
Sock 2 here I come!

Those socks are so cool! I love the pooling/flashing.

STR does seem to have good yardage. I wanted to make official kneehighs and all I had to do was knit the cuff in a contrasting yarn. and it's funny -- mine pooled just like yours. spiraled in one direction on the foot and another on the leg.
what do you think of the garter st heel? i really like them although i've only done it on one pair.

I like the colors, and I think the simple ribbing might be more my speed than the cables.
I see Seinfeld, Arrested Development, and I think Gilmore Girls, and ER. I also think I see some Rocky and Bullwinkle! You have some good stuff there.

Definitely Gilmore Girls; I'd recognize that two-headed icon anywhere!
Nice sock! I like the stripiness of it -- do you?
