Hello and I hope for all of you celebrating a holiday season, that it has been a good one so far for you. Ours has been lovely.
I thought I'd show you my final cast-on of 2024. Late in the afternoon on Christmas Day, I cast on this sock. I'd been wanting to get a sock going for a while, but between finshing up a gift for The Tim, and then all of the other preparations, I didn't get to it. So I decided to start while I was sitting in the living room and he was in the kitchen fixing our Christmas dinner.
I got the cuff started on Christmas, and have made some good progress, even since this photo was taken. I'm getting ready to do the heel, and deciding between a heel flap and gusset or a shadow wrap heel. I'm liking the way the yarn is knitting up. And since I started this pair of socks on the first day of Christmas, I'm calling them my 12 Days of Christmas Socks. (Not that they will be finished in 12 days ...)
Have you started any new projects? I have some ideas swirling around in my head of how/what/why I want to knit this coming year, but they are not yet completely clear, so I'm going to work on organizing a very loose plan.
Today I had a DEXA scan - my favorite medical test! You just show up, lie still on a table for a little while, and you're on your way! You don't even have to change your clothes. 😊 I'm not so sure that I'll get great results this time, but that won't be a surprise.
As for the rest of the day, I want to put away some of my gifts, and pay some bills, so as usual, it's a life of glamour and excitement that I doubt many of you can imagine ...
Enjoy your day!

The colours in your sock go very well with the colours in your blog header!
Does a re-cast on count as a new cast on?
A Christmas Day cast on sounds like a wonderful tradition. I cast on a hat for one of the Grands that day myself. He's 3 and wants a hat with a pompom but Daughter can't find a boys hat with one so she asked me to make one.
Wishing you and atim a very happy New Year.
