Sock fit and Misfits

Yesterday the Sock Ministry yarn arrived and I set to work on a toe-up sock in toning pink stripes, cheerful start.

I had to do a bit of thinking to remember the toe-up process which is short rowing like turning a heel only more so, since you're knitting a toe cap. You start on two needles then eventually add in the others.

Toe-up makes a lovely comfortable toe, and you can keep checking for size as you go.

Here on my bumpy old foot over another sock, testing, and resting on an afghan I knitted many years ago for Handsome Partner so he could be comfortable out on the patio in his chair.

I sent these pictures to the nun who sent me the yarn, and she's definitely happy, though I suspect, as a non sock knitter, a bit mystified about how this works.

And today was Misfits box day.

Here's the step by step, literally starting on the step

After this a lot of scrubbing and wiping and chopping and bagging and some freezing. 

Finally, the box is broken down for recycling, along with the  insulation blankets.

And this evening will be a lovely salad, mixed greens, scallions, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles.

Happy misfitter here. The cheeses look great. And I ordered two packs of hake, just continuing my exploration of the ocean.

All in all, a good day, if a vigorous one.
