Ok, yes I finished the socks prior to getting on the train. I posted pictures to Flickr, but just didn’t have enough time to post them here. Taking the 1515 train was a better idea than the 1715.
Sock Madness
By1130
I had made it this far. There is this small issue of when to do the heels….After thought heels are perhaps my least favorite kind of heel. From a colour control point of view, they help you avoid the whole issue of colour pooling for most patterned yarns. The cost is poorer fit due to the lack of a gusset.
If you are in Germany, and your scissors are in the UK - you can make due with a glass sided pepper mill and a knife to cut the waste yarn so that you can insert that after thought heel just discussed. Scissors would have been easier and a lot less scary, but I didn’t want to take the time to go shopping for another pair.
I had taken a break from knitting the second sock to complete the first heel, just in case there were adjustments ...

The Ravelry group of Heidelberg area knitters (or at least five of them) managed to get together last Sat afternoon. If my flight had been on time, I would have been able to be there.
One of the group, Snowberrylime, thought she might be able to meet up this week. Weinheim was the planned location and 1530-1600 at the trainstation the location.
Cell phones are great - we finally found each other along this less that 100m street by looking for the other woman on the handi. Go figur...

Otherwise, I had a nice nap….

Looking for good homes
Usually, I look through knitting magazines before I take them to the check out. I was in too much of a hurry today. As a result, I have both Winter 2007 of Knitters and Spring 2008 of Interweave Knits that need a good home. I am willing to mail each to anywhere in the world. The only pattern I found that I would do is the Tulip Socks - and since I have the original charts (from the Traunenfels Austrian Museum series) I don’t need the pattern.

A successful day in the most part. The credentials paperwork is complete, I was able to talk to the personnel CPT who is doing bonus paperwork, I picked up a couple of potential birthday presents for the kids. I also went to see about a German Drivers License.
Found myself caught in a do-loop. I need a regular license because I don’t have a valid US license, and the USAEUR (US Army in Europe license is really only good for Germany, if one is stationed there, that is). I am stati...
