The first sock of the first pair from Nancy Bush's book Knitting on the Road is progressing nicely. Today sees the end of the first week of my year of projects and so far I'm right on schedule ... 52 weeks / 17 patterns = about three weeks per pair of socks.
It's a pleasure to knit patterns designed by Nancy Bush, and not just because they are clearly written with thorough explanations and complete charts. Her patterns always include charming details that make the socks really elegant; check out this "clock" pattern that creates a subtle column down the leg to the ankle and around the gusset along the side of the foot. It's a very nice way to dress up an otherwise rather plain leg. Here's hoping I can still say how much I enjoy her designs after 51 more weeks of knitting her patterns!

I think you will. They seem to each have a little challenge in them. No same old, same old for you this year.
I cannot believe how quickly and how beautifully you knit! I checked that book out of the library was overwhelmed. The patterns all looked so hard!
I don't think I have knit one of her patterns. I like the design on this one.
Lovely pattern and yarn choices. Socks are something I have not attempted. I admire everyone who can whip a pair out-those patterns scare me! ;)

WOW, your socks look fabulous. Well beyond my skills, but maybe if I keep at it.
Yous sock looks wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing more patterns from the book as the challenge progresses
I'm in awe of people who can knit socks, good luck! It's looking great.
