Anyway, a few days before leaving the hospital, I picked up the 2nd sock and started knitting. I did get released a week ago on Sunday...an 18 day stay. Other than going to my house DR on Monday for a follow up, I did not much more than sleep the first 2 days home. I am very slowly starting to feel better. Thank you for all the well wishes!
I happily finished them off yesterday. Even feeling good enough to sit out on the balcony with my husband for short periods of time.
BUT...do you see what I see? I was looking at the stripe pattern...comparing it to the other sock...and when I got to the end color, I just assumed I was finished. Made the toe. And today, I look at them and think...Gee - one looks shorter than the other! Yup, I stopped 3 bands of color short! Got to undo that toe, pick up the yarn and knit those 3 bands. My poor brain can not even seem to compute simple socks!
I was digging through my knitting bag and found these perfectly lovely gray socks! Absolutely no recollection of knitting them! Those stripes match perfectly, it just doesn't look like they do in the photo.
My February socks had a touch of red for Valentine's and dark colors for the long dark nights.

So sorry you've been sick! All of your socks are wonderful! I've knitted a sock that was too short, too, and I wasn't sick. These things happen. Happy knitting and I hope you continue to improve.
Hope you are feeling better... the socks are wonderful... I think we've all knit a sock or two that was too short... glad we can go back and fix them. Happy knitting!
Oh, that's such a long time to be in the hospital! I hope you feel much, much better soon.
So sorry to hear you were sick and laid up in the hospital. Good to hear your strength is returning. Love the cheery socks.
