Sooooooo, I'm sitting at my desk, at work, at lunch, knitting some socks. I was several rows into the heel flap and had just knitted a row on sock 1, when I noticed something odd. Somehow, the points of my needle were pointing in the same direction. I have no idea how that happened. I had to move the stitches of that sock to a DPN, then move the back to the working needle in the correct direction.
