Let’s get back to basics for a moment, shall we?  How about some knitting.  I distinctly recall a point when this blog was pretty much all knitting all the time, and I think we could perhaps do with a bit more of that, yes?  So, look, a sock in progress!

You’ll note I’ve piled the sock in progress atop his completed fellow and the ball of yarn, perhaps in an attempt to show him how nice it is to be all big and tall and sock like.  I’m hoping it will encourage him to get with the program.

But, on the off chance it doesn’t work, I’ve taken the reasonable step of enlisting one of my very favorite yarn companies and three magic knitters to work up a few variations of this one for a super secret (hint, not that secret) super fun project later in the year.  I think it’s going to be rather nifty!

Now, if you could all please just provide a motivational talk to the sock there and get it to finish itself off that would be grand.
