In between, around, during, and after all the remodeling going on around here, I've found a surprising amount of time to knit. If I sit down for ten minutes, that's 3 minutes I'm checking Ravelry and sending
Koren and
Jess pictures of progress, and 7 minutes I'm knitting.
All of that industry allowed me to complete Morgan's new "LUC Socks" earlier this week.

In case you're wondering what the heck an "LUC Sock" is, LUC is the "
Lectora User Conference" -- it was in Nashville this year, and
if you remember I cast these on specifically so I would have something to do while attending break-out sessions.
The first one flew off the needles but then I saw something shiny I guess (you know how it is) so the second pair languished for a bit.

These are plain-Jane vanilla socks, no muss. The fanciest thing about them is the 1x1 rib I started them with. (I have no idea why 1x1 ... I was on auto-pilot when I started the first one. I normally default to 2x2, so I'm not sure where my brain was.)

Morgan likes them, they fit, and all is well. #operationclearthesockneedles is well underway.
