Socks!

While my calf heals, I've been knitting socks. I made several so far, just working on perfecting the technique. Trouble spot appears to be the gusset; especially where it meets the leg of the sock. I've read some pointers online, and they say to grab an extra stitch on the previous row before and after the juncture of the two needles. It does close up the hole, but seems to pull the stitches awkwardly as well. Everything I've read says that it just takes time before your results improve. Practice, practice, practice.
My calf finally feels like it's back to normal. I've resumed going back to the gym, doing upper body and just walking on the treadmill. I'm thinking I have to go easy on the calf until I know for sure it can take the abuse. It was very busy at the gym on Wednesday. I went there after my "so you think you can knit" class at Denise's house. I had to jump around on whatever machine was open at the time. I really like to start with the military presses but had to do that toward the end of my workout. Couldn't do all my reps, but I did what I could. I can feel the strength coming back. I took a jacuzzi that night, just to try to prevent the soreness from the workout. My legs were hurting Thursday, primarily around the hip joint. I did walk on the treadmill that night, and I feel fine today.
I finally put my bike together and took it for a couple of quick rides around the neighborhood. Of course, it's supposed to rain this weekend. So I'm not sure if I am going to get a bike ride in. But it's a nice bike, and I feel comfortable riding it.
