Smokey maintains that if whoever wrote the bass in this song never did another thing in his life, that life would still be counted a success.
I find nothing to disagree with in that statement.

Snicket socks have been knit nearly to the heel, including repeated tinking and re-knitting, frogged back to the ribbing, and re-knit to the heel. Needless to say, it took me awhile to grok the pattern. As of this writing (Friday evening) I am ready to do the heel. The pattern directions for the heel are hard for me to follow, and I knew I wanted it to look like this (photos cheerfully borrowed from Ravelry):
wherein the pattern continues into the heel. So I'm gonna wing it. There is a good chance that that is what the pattern actually says, but I am not going to try to decipher it.
Foot should go faster than leg because the pattern is only on the top half. Pattern has sole done in stockinette. I am thinking of using reverse stockinette to match the rest of the sock. Anybody have experience whether stockinette or reverse stockinette wears better?
Toe will look like this:
ETA: I have knit and reknit the short-row heel more times than I can count. I hope to get it right today (Sunday). It's not like I have never knit one before...
ETAx2: I just realized that the upper photo is NOT a short-row heel. Did I know that? Huh. Shall I continue with the SRH, or should I frog (again!) and do a gusset? Huh.
Stay tuned.

It was recently pointed out to me that I have one helluva Heidelburg dueling scar on my ass from the hip replacement. I'll spare you a photo of that.
