Recently, there have been some questions as to whether I've actually done any knitting. There may even have been some suggestion that the Sunday Travel Section is no more than a ploy on my part to distract you from the lack of knitting by showing you pretty pictures of far away places. While I know it doesn't seem like there's been much knitting (funny how things go so slowly when you're actively (more or less) working on 6 different things), I really have been knitting.
Exhibit A: My blog post from last Friday/Saturday. I still haven't decided what to do about the lack of fitting...
Exhibit B: One finished Bayerische sock
I haven't started the second one yet, and I think there'll be a touch of SSS here. While I really like the pattern, I should have used a lighter yarn - the Patons Kroy 4 ply is too thick for the needles I'm using and this pattern. Plus, the sock is slightly bigger than I really like...
Exhibit C: Picovoli
This isn't actually the current state of Picovoli. I've made further progress (I'm about three rounds from starting the waist increases) this week, but I haven't been able to get any good pictures.
Exhibit D: The second Pomatomus sock
Progress has been slow here, but there has been progress. I'm now about half a pattern repeat (11 rounds) from starting the heel. (The tomato plant is my roommate's. I thought some of you might enjoy the picture for more than just the sock.)
So you see? I have been knitting.
P.S. I'm traveling this weekend, so the Sunday Travel Section might not get posted until Monday.

I was busy looking at the guy's in the kilts.
I have been knitting, but slowly, so I blog about other irrelevant crap in order to disguise the lack of knitting content.
Doesn't work.
I like the pomatomus socks. And thank you for the tomato plant photo. I am envious. It has been years since I've had a home-grown tomato. (Is it worth building a greenhouse just so I can have tomatoes?) On the plus side I was knitting by natural sunlight on the deck about midnight last night.
