Look what happens when you leave hiking socks unattended! This one is trying to mail himself somewhere (to France, perhaps?). I guess he can't walk by himself because he has no toes (yet). It's not for lack of trying but that pesky job gets in the way of my knitting time. The sock looks strange to me because of the size and dimensions but I had Peter Kevin (carefully) slip it on last night and he assured me it was ok. He even allowed as to how comfortable it seemed. He started to show some interest in HIS socks. The yarn has very little stretch in it and the foot is all stockinette stitch to keep down the bulk in his boots. The yarn pattern is interesting and doesn't seem to repeat itself into actual stripes. It has been a strain on my fingers to knit with (I have arthritis in my hands that I take glucosamine for and it actually works) because of the thickness. I will be very glad when they are done. If it weren't for the challenge of the Tour, I might just put them "away". And we all know what that means.....

Here is the sock on the front step, still trying to crawl away on it's toeless foot.
