This morning I finally finished up my second Floret sock. I finished up the patterned part of the foot last night, and just had the toe to do this morning. Even with my new right eye I had some challenges with the grafting of the toe when I got to the snugging up the graft. I had to resort to my crafting glasses to get enough close up acuity to grab the correct stitch legs. Despite the fact that the prescription is off at this point, it was enough to get me what I needed. The mono vision works fine for day to day stuff around the house, but I’m going to want glasses that enable me to bring both of my eyes to bear on some tasks. I have an appointment with an optometrist the first week of February.
I would have finished these socks earlier this week except that I got distracted by an excellent book - No Man’s Land by Sarah A. Hoyt. It is a single book published in three volumes and I pretty much devoured all three volumes in three days. I didn’t do much else but read, no knitting, no spinning, no piano playing, just reading. It has been a while since I have found a book that engaged me that much. There is more in the series to come, and I’m looking forward to that.
