Posted under socks
Last night I was able to finish the first Hedera sock last night thanks to all the knitting I got done in the car on Wednesday. I almost envy the folks who commute and get all that extra knitting time every day. If I worked away from home, I would catch the bus or car pool just so I could get that extra time to knit socks. Then I would pat myself on the back for saving all that gas money. Gas is up to $3.27 a gallon here in Hawai’i so that would be quite a big pat. (At least that’s what one gas station had listed today.)
This is how much progress I made on the second Hedera sock today while running errands. Since I started knitting in the car again, errands have been made into a much more pleasant experience. I’m a terrible backseat driver. It’s like my mouth runs on seperate controls from my brain and I just start snapping out commands.
I wonder if it’s from too much empathetic experiences with Captain Picard or Captian Kirk. “Warp speed, dammit! Warp speed!” Now when I’m told to put a sock in it, I can literally, put a sock in it. Furthermore, I’m more extremely happy to comply with putting a sock in it. *Mrrf!*

Nice sock! I also knit socks in the car, and its helped with my backseat driving as well.

I love that sock patter! It looks beautiful.
When our 16 year old daughter began to drive, I found that I had to take my knitting with me to keep from shouting!!!! I did get alot done and she has learned to drive fairly well.
