Thanks all for your input on the inside – outside sock dilemma.
When it boiled down to it, my issues were:
1) Like you, I thought the inside was more visually interesting than the outside.
2) But I started the sock w/ the pattern as is and w/o a bit of tweeking (which I didn’t feel like doing) [...]

10.5″ of tube knitting and still working …

Hardly worth bogging about, but there ya go.
Making a sock with an afterthought heel (hence the odd green line in the sock). Thought it would be a good thing so I can replace the heel as needed. However, knitting the tube, which will be almost a foot long [...]

I know how I like to knit socks. I know how I like my socks to fit. I am pretty good at recalculating existing directions to give me the sock fit I demand when I knit my own socks. But I’m tired of doing the same  calculations and modifications. You’d think I’d actually save it [...]

I was done in last night when the tree branches started crashing around the house and the car. Not pretty. Currently we have three branches connecting the house’s power lines with the ground. Power company has us down as an “emergency situation” but we haven’t [...]

Thankfully we survived last night’s “storm”. I was really worried about the winds. As far as I know, we didn’t see strong winds here at all. Other places had gusts clock in (unofficially) at 100mph! At least that is what they were saying on the late news last night. I haven’t heard a more current [...]

Apparently winter broke all around us. And forced the girls to start their winter break two days early. The predicted “trace” amounts of snow turned into a good 6 inches. I’m debating today about heading out to the grocery store. Normally, 6 inches of snow wouldn’t have bothered me. But here? They don’t have enough [...]
