Yay I got to do some knitting today. I started a Christmas present for my business partner, she asked for a 'cottage sock'. Something warm, good to put into a winter boot and slipper like to walk around on bare floors. 
I taught myself how to do toe up socks and I taught myself how to do short row heels. Boy, they knit up fast. 
I'll post a picture as soon as both are done.
