2 Kings is like Israel's Dark Ages, with all those kings who "did evil in the sight of the Lord"...How one cheers when Joash, and Hezekiah, and Josiah come up in the roster! Finally someone does something about those perennial high places! And how telling it is when Josiah is having the temple repaired and the reason for these dark ages becomes apparent...they'd lost track of the Law. I can identify. I put off my Bible reading - whether with or without knitting - for any length of time and gradually, a personal Dark Ages ensues. But I am all too human and no matter how many times I return to the Word, inevitably there comes a time when I get busy again and start putting it off. I wonder if I will ever learn better...because I certainly know better, but I still sometimes fail to "do right in the sight of the Lord."
Now for the socks. I am somewhat surprised that I knit for that long - 17 chapters! But I got to the end of the gusset:
Will I finish the foot tonight? I estimate about 40 rows left to knit in the foot, then I start the toe. It might get finished. But first I have to go run errands...
