One Zombie down, one still to go:
Colinette JitterBug in Velvet Plum
Addi Turbo size 1
Prescribed 4 sets of Zombie Stitch Pattern on the leg, then 4.5 for the foot.
My legs are a bit swollen at present - the leg fit better when I wasn’t so puffy! LOL
I put a hole in my right index finger, and I'm still only on the first sock! Now I have to alter my technique, and it's slowing me down...
Well, I have to get some sleep. But I've made it through two pattern repeats of Zombie Socks. Here's a close-up, but the color's off.
The color's better in this shot. I think it fairly closely resembles "dependent lividity", no?
Sock Madness 2 started this afternoon. I had to wait until after work and dealing with the kids to get started, so I'm behind.
Can't talk now...Must Knit!!
We were coming in the house the other day, when Gavin sniffed deeply, wrinkled his nose, and loudly asked, "Eeww!! What's that smell?" Before I could come back with my usual, "I don't know. What's it smell like?", you could see the lightbulb moment. "Oh!! It's SPRING!! It's been so long, I've forgotten what it smells like!!"
The kids got out of school early today. Connor went to Friendly's with his friend, and Gavin was picked up by my friend so that I could work. Seemed sort of silly to ask for time off on only my third day, no? So, since the kids were occupied, I ran an "errand" on the way home. OK, so I stopped at my LYS, Sheep Street. I had to get ready for Sock Madness 2, right? Needed some "choices" and backups...
See how "ready" I got? ($400.01, and I still haven't got any laceweight...)
Well, tomorrow I start a new job. It'll only be 25 hours a week, and the only benefit is that the hours can be flexed somewhat when I need to take one of the kids to their various and sundry appointments, but it is only 10 minutes drive (and a 5 minute walk from the parking lot to the office), so that's a good thing, too.
I'm looking forward to it. Wish me luck...
