I was thinking a giant sock would be a way for me to start, and then once
I had
a general understanding, I could try something smaller.

I was thinking about making a huge sock to go over my plaster cast but I
didn't get round to it. I've got to go back to the hospital on the 31st so
hopefully the cast will be gone soon.

When I had foot surgery I had a beige knit socklike thing to wear with
the special foot sandal. I embroidered all around the top edge of the
sock (just a twining vine) to cheer it up!

The Funniest sock i ever knitted was for my stepfather , i knitted him
a Bank Sock , for all the coins he always had in his pockets. You
know how folkstories say that people colect money in socks ,,, thus i
knitted the sock with a rather wide base and high Leg, and knitted
some words into this as well ,, He used it till the end of his life .

Years ago i taught knitting to a woman who had only one leg, she
insisted on knitting always 2 socks , and never explained it why .

Y'know, a 'bank-sock' is actually a very good idea, AND can be used as
both a weapon, if necessary, AND to smash out a window of a car if one
finds oneself in deep water.....
