It is alive - the sock sequel 2 for needleworkmonday and googlyeyes

Not much knitting this week – more big eyes. I so wanted to participate in the #googlyeyes contest. I already had some of these funny eyes which I used for a simple toy some years ago. But I also wanted to write a nice #needleworkmonday post, with lots of funny ideas, finished items or a tutorial. But no.
In the last week was not much time for knitting and if there was time I was too agitated to concentrate for longer. I think I already have written this in some comments – my father is ill and a very close friend either. And I must admit I am not very good in coping with such things. I tend to ruminate and imagine all the bad things which could happen. No lucky place for me. But also, the time was filled with visiting doctors and helping my parents.




Nevertheless, I proceeded on my stripy socks. And I think I invented a new kind of heel. I name it the box heel, as it is completely square (yes, you are right… I did something wrong in the short row section and so my sock is made for a robot foot :-DDD)
I am now at the last section of the sock, the decreases… and look – my sock has come alive. Now it is constantly chatting. It told me it loooves bubble gum, but only the pink variety which taste of strawberry and that it does not like to be soaked in water. It wants me to knit a friend very fast and too placate it, I conjured up this little heart box to keep it company.
