I also do occasionally like an ankle length sock.Kath (BackstageKnits)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08566368818531283561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860749103837676419.post-36366587564984022992020-09-30T12:49:32.427-07:002020-09-30T12:49:32.427-07:00Enjoy your trip!

Good question about the sock lengths. I think I don't make them the same. My legs are usually 6 inches before I start the heel, and I think my foot is 7.5 inches. Actually my fav socks are anklets anyways so then all bets are off. I have always wanted to knit knee highs but I haven't got there yet.

Nice reminder about reaction to flu vaccine. I get mine in a couple a weeks and as I recall I was quite sick last year for a day. And I get one every year!Maureen Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094562392012860836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860749103837676419.post-71200012329090952132020-09-28T06:38:52.192-07:002020-09-28T06:38:52.192-07:00Before I forget, I usually make the leg of my sock...Before I forget, I usually make the leg of my sock about 6 or 7 inches. I never heard about making it the length of the foot. My foot is 9 1/2 so if I made the leg the same I might run out of yarn! LOL!<br />Cross stitch is a good thing for travel and for working on when hot. Your sock is gorgeous in those colors. I'm thinking that Cloudborn was sold on Craftsy? They went out of business and I lost all the courses that I had bought! I was ticked off! Now there's another one doing the same thing but I won't fall for that again! Good luck with Boneset. It looks lovely so far and I pray you will not need to utilize your lifeline. Look at all your beautiful DK! Is it wool? I have acrylic DK and it would be nice if I could wind it up like that. I need to get a ball winder. I wind everything by hand.<br />So glad your Saturday night mass is opening up again. Brownies from scratch are so good! <br />Glad you are getting to see your MIL. It sounds like they have a good system there and at the casinos and hotels too.<br />I have a question, why would people say negative things about your trip? Happy 45th wedding anniversary!!!

I hope you get some time to relax on your trip and enjoy your anniversary, alongside the essential tasks. I have tiny feet, US5 and there's no way I even knit the leg part as long as my tiny foot. The longest sock I have knit is probably 1" above my ankle bone. My dad's and husband's socks I made longer but still well short of them being the same length, but when I think of folding his commercial socks they probably are the same length! Something that never occurred to me!HighlandHeffalumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954625467998406097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860749103837676419.post-70293636709801880652020-09-27T19:11:24.979-07:002020-09-27T19:11:24.979-07:00I'm also doing a lot of destashing this year. ...I'm also doing a lot of destashing this year.

I got my flu shot Thursday and felt achy on Friday, though, my arm didn't hurt at all. I definitely felt worse last year, so maybe there IS something to getting it regularly that cuts down the "suffering". lol Hubs gets his faithfully every year and he never seems to be affected by it (except for maybe feeling it in the arm for a day or so).Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860749103837676419.post-9880510274893153082020-09-27T10:19:03.785-07:002020-09-27T10:19:03.785-07:00I just started making the leg as long as the foot ...I just started making the leg as long as the foot of the sock. It seems to balance the look of the sock when worn. I used to only make the leg about 7 inches long including the cuff. Fortunately, neither hubby nor I have huge feet so this works well with us and a 100 grams of sock yarn is still plenty for 2 socks.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.com
