Knitting: my new addiction

I thought she was asking both of us!
I'm half-way done with the diamonds on the second sock. By the way, I hate to keep calling it a sock. Lady Veronica Gainford absolutely forbids referring to kilt hose as socks, and especially "sox". She calls them stockings, but to me that implies something to hang up for Santa Claus to fill with stuff (which would stretch them horribly), or something in balck fishnet which you hope your wife doesn't catch you looking at.

I'm glad you like the diamonds. They're not hard to do. Have you worked cables before?

I'm still wondering what the singular of kilt hose is.

hehehe...

No, I've not worked any cables yet. I think I know how to, in my head -- just need to do it at some point...

In your head? It's much easier with your hands! Kind of like playing piano by ear. Why not use the fingers?

As you can tell, I'm rather droll.

I know - still in my head! no time to knit today -- making a kilt...
