Almost a sock

Thank you for your comments on my husband's defense. We did go to the movies that night, something we hadn't done lately.


I've been knitting at work, which I don't do very often. I have almost finished one sock:

You can tell I'm not crazy about an endless garter stripe. I could have finished a long while ago but working on the sock and watching the different stripes appear seemed more appealing. However, I must now hurry with a new project someone requested. For now it's just a garter rectangle. Can you guess what it's for?
