Basic Black Socks

These are going much faster than I thought they might.  They’re big ones – I’m hoping big enough for MP.  I did the K1P1 ribbed cuff on slightly larger needles (I think around 2.5 mm) and 70 stitches, then increased to 72 stitches and switched down to 2.25 mm dpns. Just a basic K1, Sl1 heel flap with a 3 st garter selvedge on either side.  My favorite heel flap.

Apparently I’ve been watching more movies and football of late because I’m much further along on the first sock than I thought I might be by now.  These are the kind of thing you can sit and watch TV with or visit with friends while knitting, and nobody feels ignored.  At least I hope they dont.  We went to some friends house to watch MNF this week, and they did notice I’d brought my “crocheting” – but nobody seemed too bothered by it.
