How to knit a sock in three days:

1. Schedule a layover in a northern state. Our flight to Detroit was diverted to Indiana, and we hung out on the plane for the longest time, which afforded lots of knitting time.

2. Sprain your ankle. Awesome.

Original Fiber. Yarn. I'm going to lengthen the leg of this sock - I was worried about running out of yarn, but the sock is 40g and I have about 70g more yarn. I'm getting 8-8.5 sts/inch on size 1.5 needles. There's some parts that are thicker and thinner, but it's mostly even. Yay!

I worked my first afterthought heel on this, and I heart it! Totally worth the two extra ends to weave in. It fits my large instep better than a short row heel - I worked three or four straight rounds before starting the decreasing, which gives a bit more ease in that area.
