Great socks - I wish that I had been a knitter back in the day, working on my thesis… And I totally know what you mean about writing in order. Chapter 1 (unless you have an introduction) is a beast to write - you really need everything else done.

REally like the socks — might make the Anastasia socks that I have in my queue (for mom, rather than the falling leaves, need to finish for Xmas, after all) that way, i.e. with less holes…

I like your socks!

Good luck with that chapter. Can I say it’s liberating to hear that you started with ch. 3? The idea of diving into an introduction is so daunting that before I left school I was having nightmares about it.

Love the socks! I think the colorway is “eat your veggies” — I have socks made out of the same stuff.

[…] Check it out! While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerpt When I’m in the middle of writing — I mean when I’m really into it — I usually need something to keep my hands busy while my brain works. I’ve knit many things this way and in the process I’ve found that the best knitting for writing is something simple and circular, but not too simple. No stockinette, or my brain goes into a zen state where I stop thinking all together. No, what I need is something that changes, but only every row or two. No long purl rows (i.e. no lace), no complicated tra […]
