Knitting the gussett

The disaster in Haiti has me sad and grieving. I pray for the diabetics, hypertensives, and people with mental illness and those with chronic conditions.  Where and when will they get their medications if the pharamcies are closed and destroyed and they have no money?  Surely, many will die.  Many people with mental illness will be unstable without their medications that they may not be able to tell rescue workers what they need. See: http://www.medicalmusingsandhealthhappenings.blogspot.com/.

Pat Robertson's comments were culturally insensitive and unconscionable. I suspect he would not have made such comments had the earthquake been in Europe or Asia.

I am working on the gussett of the sock.  I finished shaping the heel. I just figured out that I will have to sew the instep and the sole together.  Instead of describing knitting the gussett with the instep and sole together, I have an old pattern that describes knitting the sole as one piece and then sewing it to the instep flap.

I only have 1 3/4 ounces of sock yarn.  I must return to the yarn store to pick up a set of number 1 double pointed needles and more sock yarn, that is, if the LYS has the same yarn in stock.  If they don't have it in stock, I won't be able to complete the sock and the other of the pair.  I suspect that I will have to add the sock yarn to my stash and discontinue the project. Then move on to the next unfinished project. We will see.

Let's see what the yarn shop has in stock.  Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s holiday. I wonder if the yarn shop will be open.
