knit one, purl two

I finished my first sock.

Considering how long it took, I may have a pair by the 4th of July.

Which makes me look at this, and wonder how soldiers ever got fresh socks during WWII.
Did all of these people have "help" at home, preparing their tea and doing their wash? Perhaps I need to start knitting in a hat, and coat, and heels, and hose, and a girdle. Because clearly wearing comfy yoga pants and sitting on the couch next to my cat does not increase my productivity.

Or else I just need to start bringing it with me everywhere I go.
I'm heading off to Ipswich to bring these pretty flowers to a friend, and have a cuppa.
