Jury Socks
How much knitting can be done while serving on Jury Duty? About 90% of one sock* if you are on a case that takes LOTS of breaks. And a small, quick-read book can be read as well. I’m so glad THAT is over. Clearly, I could never be a lawyer and I’m glad to know that about myself. And hopefully I won’t be called for jury duty again for a long, long time.
A friend of mine requested brown socks. This is the first pair of socks that I’ve knit for someone else where I am having a hard time giving them up. I might have to knit another pair for myself. The pattern is Seduction Socks by Interweave Knits and free on their web site.
I’m off to visit in-laws for the weekend. Perhaps sock number two will be knit and I will have a pair come Monday. Or least later in the week.
Happy Weekend!
*Another woman on the jury had her socks on addi turbo circular needles. They passed security on the first day, but were confiscated on the second day. It’s interesting how safe or dangerous knitting needles can be on any given day.
oh, i love them! the pattern is just wonderful!
Those socks look great! I love them. What yarn did you use? You are a fast knitter!
Oh yeah! Did she get her needles back? Wow, I hope so!
What a beautiful pattern! It looks so pretty in the brown yarn. Glad jury duty is over for you.
beautiful socks!!!
I can see why you are reluctant to give them away….that is one beautiful sock!
I love the extra things that happen in a day that give you more time to knit!
I hope the other lady got her Addi’s back. That had to hurt to have them confiscated.
Wow, that’s a big accomplishment! The pattern looks beautiful in that yarn. I like how it appears to have a reddish tint.
oh, i can see why you dont want to give them up!
I love those socks too! What a great pattern, and the color is such a rich brown. I’d have a hard time giving them away too!
What a great idea for jury duty! I hope the other woman got her needles returned to her!
Cheers!
I’m so printing that right this minute. That’s a complicated pattern for knitting with lots of people around – my hat’s off to you!
