Stairs of justice

So back from France but without much of the sock completed due to a tumble down this flight of stairs. A death trap! I have taken the skin off the palm of my left hand so holding needles is a bit awkward and painful if they slip. Will I ever finish these very simple socks?

One down one to go! Here is the first Oak Ribbed sock. It looks quite garish just staring up at you from the page but when you put it on the colours really work. I was struck by SSS (second sock syndrome) and was comtemplating not finishing the second but it was such an easy knit it seemed churlish not to finish the pair.

..arrived yesterday on my desk. It looks complicated and needs further investigation but I am revelling in having a new book to work from.

The Oak Ribbed socks are coming along very slowly. I've been somewhat distracted by this book. It's fabulous but it's really eating into my knitting time....
