update by demand

I was told to update this by someone who is spying on me so here goes it. Not much happened this weekend I worked, friday, saturday and Sunday... oh my Sunday.... what a crazy night. This week I have picked up a 6th day inorder to grab an extra day off in the next couple of weeks.

N took Tage to the dentist to check on the retainer which mind you we have only done for about 3 weeks and the dentist is concerned his teeth are already slipping back... life is good. This kids mouth is about to cost more then his entire body.

finished the green monsters socks and now I am hoping they will fit. I might make the second one longer. I have a feeling I should have knit another .5 inches before starting the toe... oh well not likely he will were them anyways. I mean think about it handmade wool socks in OK... not thinking its a good fit I should have thought about fabric type for this swap, but all my sock yarn is wool.


Tage and I are most likely off to the ocean on Wed. Funny thing is i live so close to the ocean now I never ever go. I think part of it has to do with my pasty white skin... and the sun beating down on me. Plus not knitting friendly in the least.

Secret Swap question #6

I havent taken a vacationin my entire adult life. I actually have a fear of using my vacation time and then wanting it for something special later. My Lost job got sold and they paid us out right for unused vacation time... I had 7.5 weeks after taxes I think i got and extra weeks pay but one well. I dont currently have vacation time as I started at this job in March. So I dont have any stranded with out knitting stories.

I did however have my knitting taken from me in Sept. when I had jury duty... apparently sock needles can be considered a deadly weapon...
I wanted to scream out load that I was a juror not the criminal but oh well... I rotted in the jury pool room all day with 80 other pissed off people.

If you run a jury room... please get up to date magazines... the Soviet Union broke up when I was in high school.... hello Mc Fly

Green Monsters for #1

So I am working on a pair of Green Monster (sereknity yarn) for #1. They are going to be ankle socks and I am kinda faking the pattern as I go. I have yet to make socks for a grown man.

Old times long forgotten

Just and aside. Today has been a wild day. Two high school classmates contacted me on Facebook and my High School Sweetheart too. Funny these people dont seem to realize they are trapped in a time warp in my brain... cast forever as a 17 year old...

Invasion of other peoples Kids

So I feel like my life is being invaded by other peoples kids. Sat. Tage stayed at his BFF house and Sunday BFF stayed here, he didnt leave till 8pm tonight. Ndebe also decide today would be a great day to work from home.... translation... my day off is ruined by my family. I know that sounds awefull but I am so used to being the only one home on my days off due to the lack of a tradition M-F job that when they are all here they drive me batty. Although Ndebe was working I feel him watching me as I try to Knit and catch up with my soap. The two boys spent every two minutes buggin eachother and then me.
Thankfully Tage is wiped out and in bed by 9pm tonight and I have conviced Ndebe that he wants to go on a mens night date with his best friend....

Panic Attack




So I just finished my rainbow socks made with Kismet by Sereknity and they came out great. I didnt do the short rows all the way to the toe to be honest I was sick of all that purling. My question is to all you people who read my blog (hahahah I think there is one person) do you feel like you are going to have a panic attack at the end of a project? I know many of my fellow knitters will most likely say no since they keep about 1000 things OTN. I dont I have a shawl OTN right now which I shouwl be done with by now but have been neglecting lately, also Sereknity, do you see a pattern here, but I normally only have one thing OTN at a time. My problem now is which yarn what pattern is next. I am honestly thinking about reaching into the bin of sock yarn with my eyes shut and picking that way... but I might pick a flat feet because I know them by touch ugh what to do. Maybe I should let Tage pick the yarn. Oh well till then I think I will work on my Shawl and or Read the 3rd Twilight book. Cant start a project at 1 am anyways since I need to wind the yarn etc.

Secret Pal ?

How much stash is enough.

Well I think since I have become a die hard sock knitter and sock yarn doesnt count as stash.... I dont need to answer this question. hahahahahh

I am amassing a rather large stash of sock yarn currently. My obession is mostly flat feet yarn since I can carry them to the hockey rink with out worrying about a run away ball.
