The Inscrutable Sock

Well, after several hours of pondering, and a few false starts, I finally managed to get The Inscrutable Sock -- aka Fancy Silk Sock from my vintage pattern book -- onto three needles.

My mother used to say that when you were in pain, frustrated, or in some dire circumstance you should offer up your suffering to get souls out of Purgatory.  I think several box-cars made it out last night and are riding the rails heavenward.  And I'm hopeful that my nervous tic is only temporary.
