Moving right along

Knitting right along.  I'm keeping the pattern going on the foot.  I really hope this fits him!  I did the foot over 33 stitches. I am continuting the pattern on the top of the foot and have added one plain knit stitch on either side of the pattern to make the transition smooth.  I'm going to knit the foot on 72 stitches.  I hope it works out.

Almost to the heel

Very nearly at the heel. I think I'll do the leg at 7 inches.

Timeout

I was having some cramps in my forearms and my sister put my knitting into a 72 hour timeout.  Not knitting just feels unnatural!

 Here is a closeup of the pattern I'm knitting.

Ready!

 Finished and ready to go for our anniversary!

Yellow enough?

 Do you think this yellow is yellow enough for Tig?  I am using Opal color # 5182.  This yellow has a bit of orange in it that doesn't show up well in the photo.  I am using the Classy Slip-up pattern from  Knit Socks! by Betsy Lee McCarthy.  I cast on 72 sts and knit 17 rows of K1,P1.  You knit one row plain and then start the pattern.  I really hope Tig likes these.  I do kind of want to cast on a pair on NBK socks but I might focus on those socks instead so maybe not!

I thought I had a ball of another yellow opal sock yarn somewhere but maybe I used it for my sister.  She is also a big yellow fan.
