Warm toesies
I usually keep a pair of socks on the needles at all times because it's such a portable project. I started the sock below probably some time back in February, and it's still going and going and going...
I'm using size 0 DPNs, so each round knitted adds *maybe* 1/8 inch to the length. The yarn is a superwash wool from Lorna's Laces in the colorway Mother Lode. (And I still have it's mate to knit!)
I've always been an emotional eater, with stress and boredom my top eating emotions. During last school term, I've gained a portion of my -20 pounds back (can I claim it to the Freshman 15?? :o), so I decided to get back up, dust myself off and start again. I got an early birthday present to help things out.
It's amazing how many muscles I don't normally use!

I got out of my exercise groove thanks to the wisdom tooth removal....finally went to the gym again last night. Ow!!
That is a very pretty sock.
Hey there Sweetie.
I can identify with how you feel totally. I eat when I'm stressed or bored too and it can be the bane of my life sometimes, but you'll lose it all again. Wow what a pressie. I would love to know when your Birthday is - I'd like to send you a little something. Chin up, and lots of hugs to you and your lovely furbabies xxx
I love the clors in your sock. :)
I empathisize with the emotional eating too - it's difficult to pull out of the slump and get back to the activity you need to lose weight. But I'm betting you'll start feeling better really soon - endorphins and energy and everything. I'll be cheerign for you. :)
You know I love that sock. LOL. I hope that your exercise plan is going well. I really need to get some myself. It's terrible how easy it is to get in a rut of sitting on your tush all day and night. That's where I am!
Os???? Everyone thinks I'm crazy when I knit with size 1s but now I can say I know someone crazier! LOL Lovely colors in your sock. Patti
Patti, you'd be surprised at how much fun knitting on 0s are. (really!) But, of course, that doesn't mean I'm not crazier!! :o)
