Rainy day knitting

It has been raining cats and dogs    all    day   long   here.  I had planned to go into the capital and then to another city, but not in this kind of weather I'm not.

I'm staying indoors and cooking whatever I can find for dinner, because there is no way I'm going out in this weather. I guess Mother Nature still hasn't got the memo, that it's supposed to be summer here, not cold, rugged autumn-esque.

But I'm not complaining too much, because this is the perfect weather to sit on the couch, with some nice tea and some knitting.

These are my man's Christmas socks. The first is somewhere on the foot. I ran out of yarn and decided to start the second sock with the new skein. That way I'll only have 2 ends to weave in on the second sock. It's also a great way to avoid second sock syndrome. So this second sock is on the heel flab.
This is happy knitting for me. First of all because I love the pattern, it's madder ribbed socks by Nancy Bush. Secondly, these are his christmas gift and my dad's christmas socks are already done and I'm working on my mum's. BUT then the yarn broke... buhh for yarn with knots. Yay for being well on the way with christmas knitting.


Are you planning on knitting for christmas and have you started yet?
