In The Mail

Saturday's mail brought a couple of interesting things (and NO bills!) The best one was a copy of the summer issue of Interweave Knits. I recently subscribed but just mailed off the payment last week. I figured it would be August before I got anything so that was a real treat.

But also in the mail was a big packet of papers from this new doc I am to see on Wednesday. First and foremost, was information that stated I needed to pay for this LOL. Then, a map showing exactly where their offices were in this big medical complex...and how to actually get there via parkways, interstates etc. Then there was a 4 page medical questionairre to complete. My gosh, this thing was quite detailed about every physical system. But interspersed with questions concerning heart/lungs/stomach etc there were some really interesting ones. Like...

1. Are you satisfied with your present type of work?
2. Do you have more than one job?
3. Do you get along well with your fellow employees and/or supervisors?
4. Do you pass a lot of gas (I guess that could relate to #3)?
5. Do you enjoy a variety of food? (please no bugs or sushi)
6. Do you ever hear voices or see people when no one is around?
7. Do you eer have a feeling that someone is trying to harm you?

Fortunately they didn't ask "Do your pets talk to you?" "Do you think talking to yarn makes knitting easier?"

Speaking of knitting, I finished the gusset on sock #1 and have started gusset on sock #2. I'm liking this two at once deal. For one thing, doing whatever on the second sock just goes really fast since I've just finished it on sock one and can remember what I did *G* And for another thing, I don't have to think about starting everything all over again. It seems like it goes much faster.

A question. I really like my dpns, but I am wondering if you could put the sock on a circ when you get to the boring foot part. And if so, what length do you need. I've read the instructions about 2 socks on 2 circs but I really can't get it in my head. I learn best by "seeing" as opposed to reading so have filed those printouts in the back of the book LOL. But it seems like doing the foot part on a circ would be much faster. And I really want to wear these socks!

Hope your Monday goes well...and it's only 5 more sleeps until the weekend!
