Thank you, Sheri. You definitely know how to put things into perspective!
 

Wow--I feel put in my place. But I think Sheri's right, I doubt that Augustus ever knitted a sock, so you truly can think of yourself as superior!
 

But Jen, they didn't knit a sock. Beauty in life is found in the little things -those last forever. I couldn't knit a sock even if I tried, for the life of me. Left up to me, I'd grow cold in winter. :o(

So, rule an empire... be cold... rule an empire... be cold...

I'll take the sock please!
 

Thanks everyone, I feel truly superior now! ;-)

I checked out Zee's blog, they're all getting deep into Don Quixote! Very cool! Thanks for stopping by, Zee :-)

BTW-I should finish the heel of the second sock today...
 

On turning 28, I had the worst mid-life crisis when I realized that at my age, Michael Millken had brought down a huge banking empire with his sleazy dealings, and that at an even earlier age, Fidel Castro had overthrown the Cuban government and set himself up as dictator.

But then I snapped out of it when I realized what lousy role models that made them. And neither of them, to my knowledge, has ever knitted a sock.
 

Thank you, scone, that helped a lot! To my knowledge I've never brought down anything...

I'm into the foot of the sock, shooting towards the toe. I'll put up another picture when Davin can wear them both.
