Socks Ahoy!
As promised, here are picts of the socks in progress:
L to R: Trekking; Koigu
Trekking: Ready for heel flap.
Koigu: Turned the heel last night.
Did you get that?
I turned the heel last night!!!
And it worked!
Hooray!

In other news:
I rode my motorcycle for the first time today.
This was a weekend for firsts!
I got the motorcycle almost two years ago as a semi-disassembled bunch of parts. It turns out that my neighbor Mark has almost the identical bike. It only took us a couple of weekends to get the thing running. So yesterday, I went out and got a final, crucial piece of equipment:
See Mom? I'm being careful!
Now that the thing was running, I knew that if I didn't take decisive action, it would sit around for another couple of years before I ever got around to licensing it [or myself] and actually using it. So, Mark motored us over to a nearby empty parking lot for some riding lessons. I had a ball. I will need some practice before taking my driving test, but its not hard to handle at all.
The bike is a 1971 BMW R60/5, modeled below by the MLI Spokesdogs, P + T.
I'm really looking forward to 50 miles per gallon.

They will be two pair eventually; I guess the picts were confusing. I'm not trying to make a fashion statement about unmatched socks or anything.
I LOVE the socks and the dogs! Great pictures!
I am laffing hysterically at the sox pics. too wonderful and so happy that you have discovered the joys of sox knitting.
And then to see the new old Beemer! Wait til I show my dh. He will love seeing this thing transformed into a shiny collectors bike. Good for you!
