Sockudrama - Project #37 is finished!

Blame it on the Bossa Nova Socks - Lichen Ribbed Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks

I'm dipping my toe back into blogging with a wee finished project post.

I assure you there are two completed lichen ribbed socks in this photo. One is just obscured by that unstylish bit of footwear known as an Aircast. Unfortunately, I had a stupid accident and broke my foot two weeks ago. I unintentionally stayed with the soccer/football theme of this World Cup sock yarn and broke a bone also commonly fractured by football players (5th metatarsal). I'll guess have to save the Hand Knit Socks + Shoes photo for my next pair.

The lichen ribbed sock pattern was quite easy to knit, though next time around, I think I'll knit a different toe. Those p3togs were a nightmare! It's a good thing the sock knitting went well, because I have a feeling I'll be confined to sensible, sock requiring footwear for quite some time.

The Project: Blame it on the Bossa Nova Socks - Lichen Ribbed Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks

The Needles: ChiaoGoo 2.25mm DPNs purchased from pureknits

Finished: October 1 2006

oh no!!! how tragic :( must make it almost impossible to get around. but probably leaves you with plenty of couch time for knitting!

it's still so sad seeing you with that cast, but I'm happy you finished the socks!

how dreadful! i'm so sorry! but that sock, she is a beaut!

Oh no! I hope your recovery goes well. Pretty socks!

omg! the drama! hope you feel better soon. at least you have lovely socks!

You live! You should knit a cast doily.

Welcome back to the blog - you were missed! I can sympathize with your injury - I have sprained my ankle so many times that it's just stupid. The socks are lovely, and as I try to finish up my first pair, they are also an inspiration. :-)

Oh no! I'm so sorry about your accident! Hope you make a speedy recovery. The socks are beautiful and that cast is actually cool. (That photo is perfect.)

oh no! at least you don't have to have one of those itchy old fashioned plaster casts.....and you can wear your great socks underneath of it! i love the color!

welcome back, i've been wondering where you've been!

This summer I suffered from the blight known as aircast. My ankle is healed now but I still hate that stupid robocop looking thing.

Isn't it awful that my first thought was, hey, no second sock syndrome? I'm evil. Glad your ankle is on the mend.

I can just see the knitted toe sticking out of that cast. How sorry about your injury. Heal well and quickly.

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry that you broke your foot! Hope you get better soon...


The sock(s) look great. =)

...and knitting

  • True confessions of a novice knitter!
    I learned to knit a few years ago, and started a knit blog so I could keep a journal of my knitting progress (or lack thereof).
