These black socks have caused me a lot of grief... they don't look very black photographed, but they are! I couldn't see the stitches by the light from lamps in the evenings. The leg section of one is just slightly longer than the other, because we were watching the latest's Jurassic Park film on Netflix and I hadn't realised how much I more had knitted until I had finished the heel and no way was I going to undo it!!
They are for DS's GF.. She suggested she'd like some for the boots she has to wear for work, but was horrified to see the brightly coloured ones I had knitted, and said she'd like black! I suppose I should knit her a second pair, I have the wool, but these were so horrible to knit, I don't think I can; I haven't liked knitting them at all!
And then because when you have loads to do, we are still unpacking and getting straight as well as doing the garden, we decided to do a jigsaw! Here it is, called The Potting Shed.
I will be crocheting my blanket, 'Sunshine and showers.'
A warm summer evening, fresh coffee and a chocolate mint choc, listening to music we love, just loving being together, smiling smugly at each other now and then, over Nell lying between us on the floor, just loving everything here. What could be better than that. My heart is hop skippity hop just thinking about it!

Whew! Mission accomplished. Glad you got those socks over and done Chris. Nice puzzle work. Glad things are going well for you now my friend.
Such happiness radiating from this post Chris, I'm off to bed with a smile on my face after reading it.
I hate knitting black!
Congratulations on the socks finish. I am sure she will be delighted with these. I got a little chuckle out of your comment about the socks not being quite the same...because you were watching the new Jurassic Park. I have made such mistakes myself trying to watch TV when working on a project. I usually just listen to music any more. Love the music of John Williams. Our local classical station does a few hours one day a week. I really enjoy it. Have a great weekend! --Andrea
I knitted a black scarf years ago. Never again will I knit anything using black wool. I too love listening to the radio in the evening. We don't do it often enough, I don't know why because night time t.v. offerings are often so poor.
Hello Chris, thank you for commenting on my blog, I'll visit here a lot, I think :D
We haven't moved yet, it's pretty stressful. I'm writing more about it on my Wild Woman blog.x
I've found black frustrating to work with at times, so I can sympathise with you, Chris.
