The Sock WAS Done


The sock was done. Notice that "was" is the operative word here. Last night I sat down with a pot of coffee and the unfinished sock. At midnight the sock was finished and I was weaving in the ends when I noticed the dropped stitch in the heel :( Don't ask me how it happened--I should have learned the caffeine lesson after the ball winder incident a few weeks ago.

The picture above is where I am at now--I had to pull it out to the cuff, I've just turned the heel, and I'm in the process of finishing the gusset decreases.

I'll just repeat the mantra I learned from Margene--"it's the process, it's the process, . . ." Maybe I should try the opposite approach tonight--I'll drink a bottle of wine and see how things progress from there :)!!

Happy knitting!
Aloha :)

I am certainly all in favor of a bottle of wine, but I would recommend drinking half of it before you work on the sock, and the other half afterward. ;)

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Memory Lane

 Came back…looking through old posts.  There are many times when I really miss blogging. Life has been super busy.  Work, family…pretty stressful. I still have delusions of grandeur that I will find time to get back to the things I love to do unfortunately for the last few years it has been a lot of HAVE to do versus WANT to do.
