How did that get here?

I have been sick for a while now with some cold or flu thing and somehow have knit the leg of one sock (again photographed for texture and not color). I don't like to knit when I'm sick and yet I decided to start a new project. I'm currently undoing about an inch and a half to fix the fact that I had lazily knit through a knot. I have done this before with no ill effects, and I had tugged the knot and it seemed plenty secure, but I felt like I was a bad knitter, so I will cut it out.
