Socks and Softshell

I picked up this sock after my self-induced cotton cone challenge ended
and began a knit 2, purl 2 rib for the leg.
I ended it just before the color for the toe, bound off the one
and immediately cast on for the second sock.
It felt good to have a sock under my needles
and I feel up to the upgrade in knitting! 
Look what Bill saw out by our pond!
It is called a Softshell turtle,
native to this area and the largest softshell turtle in North America!
Look at that pointy nose!
I can't wait to catch sight of him when I graduate to exploration again!

(The xrays showed clear lungs!  This is a huge improvement and a sign my body is recovering
from the pneumonia, sepsis and then septic shock.  I'm getting glimmers of feeling like me again.)

  6. What wonderful results from your x-rays! Glad you are seeing glimmers of your previous stamina. That has to be very comforting. Love those socks and they just scream to be worn with jeans.
