once again


I shall try to post a pick of the Levis sock. We shall see. On a dialup it takes a long time, even when it works. So, after writing, I'll go do breakfast dishes and scoop litter and maybe by then, shazamm a picture will appear.

Work was way stressful yesterday. Well, it was only partly the actual work. But our director, a relatively young man was having some majorly big heart surgery. Scary shit! So far, so good :::crossing fingers::::. And so the unknowing of that coupled with a big work load made 5 pm seem like a most wonderful thing.

After the regular after work stuff, supper, dishes yadda yadda, I made a cup of tea and sat down to knit.

Probably 4 rows on the L sock, and a couple on the cryptic stripey sock that nobody could see.. It would be HUGE if I finished it, but somewhere while surfing this morning, I read where someone had made a sock out of this Regia stripey stuff using #3 needles and 48 stitches and it worked. I shall try that. This yarn is slippy, and on metal needles I have to hang on tight (I don't have any #3 bamboo) so it makes my hands hurt a bit.

So, I'm knitting and suddenly realized my hands aren't moving and I have no idea what is on the tv because, I've gone to sleep in the middle of a stitch! Hahaha! I gave it up. Thought to do something else, like water plants, but was yawning so hard. So to bed. At 8:30 pm. What's up with that. Slept through until 5 this morning so I guess I really did need to sleep.

OMG a photo loaded. You can't know how happy that makes me. It's going to be a good day for sure!

Beautiful photo of a great sock in progress.
That same thing happened to me over the weekend: I was knitting while stretched out on the sofa. When I woke up, a couple of stitches had dropped and ran all the way back to the selvedge. Glad you could save yours.
