My current Work In Progress: knitting a sleeveless shell improvised top-down because I don’t know how far the yarn will go. I cast off when I run out of yarn. Hope to wear it to a local event on the 12th. 🧶 #WIPWednesday

Second heel went much faster than the first. Finished it while watching PBS Coverage of the @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in DC today.
Socks are being knit two-at-a-time, toe-up, with a gusset heel. 🧶

Just finished first heel on my socks. I think it works well and it should fit! Now to see if I can follow my notes to do it again on the second sock.
