My vacation did NOT start out as planned. All the weeding I did the other weekend apparently took its toll on my knees. Well…mostly my right knee. Over the course of last week, it got steadily worse, and Friday night I noticed it was swollen.

The internets told me to ice it, elevate it… and stay out of the garden…

So my Saturday looked a lot like this…

With Furby on nursing duties, I figured if I was stuck in my chair, I might as well finish my sock. So I binged The Other Bennet Sister, and got them done.

I’m afraid you get unblocked socks, because the blockers were upstairs and the knee did NOT like going up and down stairs. And yeah… they TOTALLY look like mismatched socks. I’m not thrilled with that but I can live with it. The balls must have been two different dyelots. As long as they keep my feet warm, it doesn’t really matter.

That said, they fit perfect. So it looks like 52 stitches on 2.75 mm needles will be my set combo for Kroy socks. I’ll just be checking dye lots next time.

And… while my knee isn’t 100%, I was able to get in the garden on Sunday. More on that later
