Not on purpose

As most sock knitters, I usually have one no-brainer, plain vanilla, sock on the needles. One that I can knit with my eyes closed. Eehhm.... that is a lie. I can't knit with my eyes closed. Dear Edith, resident of our sock knitting yahoogroup is blind, and knits the most intricate patterns, after she gets them translated into braille. Isn't it grand? Being a skilled, experienced knitter I tried to knit simple stocking stitch in the dark, but I messed up right away

Anyway. I have a sock that I can knit on while watching tv, or travelling on a full train, I can even knit on it while reading (something not too absorbing) or standing in a qeue: The Sock for the Road. At the moment I am using a yarn that I got out of a sockyarn swap, in the colors of the Brazil soccer team. It has _really_ long repeats, and to my surprise I got this:

Doesn't it look exactly like a "how to knit a heel" tutorial, like this one? And I swear, on all things woolly, I had no intention to do this whatsoever. But the second one will be less of a no-brainer... I want it the same.

Meanwhile, my computer has given up on me. Forgive me if I did not respond to an email!

Als je dit zou willen proberen te doen dan kwam het na heel veel meten en tellen gegarandeerd niet zo uit.
Ik ben benieuwd of de twin gaat lukken.

Hij is fantastisch; succes met nr 2!

Bij mij begint m'n eerste sok richting de teen te kruipen, maar ik denk (durf ik dat hier hardop te zeggen???) dat sokken niet echt m'n ding is......

or not the same and therefore a no-brainer

looks great, your sock. I kind of hate no-brainers, although I've recently knitted some. Now I'm totally bored of them and want something intricate.
