Kuogi Socks - Finished

I've heard all sorts of comments about how disproportionate this sock looks, but I guarantee you, it fits perfectly. I'm just finishing off the second sock, just the toe decreases to go and then I'll try take a photo of the socks on my feet so you can see that they do really fit perfectly well.
Actually despite the looks, I've already had requests from my aunt and mum to make them some, although they think that it's a lot of work, actually I averaged 1 week for the first sock, and am doing the same for the second sock. So for a pair of socks, I guess it's just two weeks total.
Well I'm off for a long weekend (4 whole days) at my parents farm. It's carnaval on Tuesday next week, and we've closed the office on monday, so no getting up early for 4 days, woohooo. Also I get a lot of time to finish off the second sock, project 128 and I've already started knitting the Bernat Mystery Afghan KAL (freebie on the bernat blog - www.bernat.com/blog), so I'll be working on that and I'll have some progress shots for you next week.
Have a great weekend everyone

Project 128 - Update 3

So this is as far as I got yesterday evening, after working on it for part of Saturday and Sunday. Had to help my grandma most of the time walking around. She had a nasty fall at the market on Saturday, and pulled a muscle in her upper leg, and now she's having a hard time walking around. Of course I also played with my dogs, and my aunt came over on Saturday to check on my gran and she brought Lara along who got to meet all our dogs. We were worried about Jojo as she's usually quite nasty around other dogs and people she doesn't know, but she sniffed Lara and then ignored her the rest of the time. Dakota on the other hand wouldn't leave Lara alone, she kept sniffing her and she was constantly drooling, she wasn't looking at Lara as food, but she wanted to take care of her, it was really cute.
Ok, it's late, I need to go to bed and get some beauty sleep, another full week ahead of me. bye for now
