Second Sock Syndrome

I've been ouchy for a few days. My shoulder has been giving me fits. The ortho guy says it's bursitis and I've got to learn to live with it. Most of the time I can deal but for the past few days it's sent me to the pill bottle and I never take pills.

 Before my mandatory arm resting went into effect on Sunday I managed to get two socks done. That would be a good thing if they were from the same pair but alas, they are not.

 This is my first Miss Babs sock. It's plain because I wanted to enjoy the yarn that everyone raves about.

 I thought it odd at first but it grows on you. It's not as willy nilly as it first seems. There is a plan there.

 I also finished another sock for charity. This is intended for Wool Aid and it's one of the sock patterns from their group site on Ravelry.

It's double stranded for warmth with one strand of standard sock yarn and one of a worsted wool.  My first try was way too dense and got frogged. They had no give but these are just fine and knit up quickly. Now if I can get a few days of rest for this blankety blank arm I just may be up to casting on their partners by the end of the week. It's heck getting old.
