I've been home sick today. It's no fun to be sick, but it's even less fun to be working while sick (like I used to feel forced to do in my old job), so I've been enjoying my day at home.
In a day filled with sitting in my favorite chair, warm kitties, quilts, tea, and TV, I just wanted to knit on a pair of stockinette socks.
I found this Malabrigo Sock yarn (in the Persia colorway) at Imagiknit while we were in San Francisco for Thanksgiving. It's not a color I normally go for, but I was completely taken with this skein, and I have been distracting myself with these socks ever since.
This is a simple sock knit on US 1 needles, and I used the cuff from the Waving Lace Socks (Rav link) to add a tiny bit of interest.
I know this isn't the nicest sock photo shoot I've ever done, but it really ranks up there with most comfortable!
Oooh, pretty socks! I hope you're feeling better soon.

Feel better! It looks like you have the perfect therapy for it - kitties, tea, knitting and comfy-ness!

Get well! Knitting and kitties can cure everything.

Those socks do look so comfy. Like a bowl of chicken soup for the feet. Hope you feel better soon.

I hope you feel better soon too. I woke up early (at non humane hours) with nausea and vomiting....and now I just feel drained. But like you, I am able to get into a comfortable chair and knit the day away....

Happy Holidays! I hope you felt better by Christmas. Cat therapy can cure most ills, I think.
