Tourist sock.

I did manage to get a good shot with the socks in front of Cabela's...

Now, I had just spent the two hours before this walking around Cabela's, knitting these socks, so I was already used to the weird looks I was getting.  There are hundreds of taxidermied critters inside this store, but I just wasn't up to having the kiddos see me get hauled off to the funny farm to grab a shot with a polar bear holding my socks.  You'll have to settle for this*, LOL!

Now I am sure my (few) regular readers are wondering..."what sock is that??"  Well, I decided I couldn't possibly walk around Cabela's and knit a complicated sock, so I cast on with one of my new stash skeins from yesterday, this is Regia Strato 5474, chosen by Howdy himself!  I am happy to report that as of this reading, I am done with the ribbing and am on to the endless 80-stitches-around-forever leg...more news as it happens!

*I feel obligated to report that upon entering this store, I uttered, "Why would he be roping a deer?  Any regular cowboy would just pull out his shotgun and shoot it."  Draw your own conclusions.
