Knit Addict

Really. Whatever could make me actually put on real clothes late on a Sunday that had been filled with lazing while it rained? Well, lazing other than the 4 miles on the treadmill.

Keep reading to find out.

I got some work in on the Sedona Socks this week. Sock one done, sock 2 started. They look funny because they’re 2×2 rib in a light-ish fingering weight yarn, so the rib really draws in. They fit just right though.

I finished my Hell On Heels, and it blocked out looooong…like 7 or 8 feet long. But it’s soft and it’s pretty.

Mom just keeps improving. She’s bored, which is a good sign. We’re hopeful she’ll get to go to rehab this coming week. Her trach came out a few days ago. She walked 75 feet in the hall a couple of days ago - what a huge, huge accomplishment! I’m so happy and relieved for her.

Tour de Sock starts up June 1st again. I’ve got a couple of the sponsor yarns ordered so I can pick up some extra points this year. Hopefully my team (Sock Whisperers!) and I will do well. I’m not going to do Tour de Fleece because I’ve got a couple of different trips during the Tour so I know I wouldn’t be able to spin every day. I thought about just setting a goal, but with TDS and knitting trips, I’ve decided I don’t need to stress myself about it.

So… Whatever made me get dressed?

I finally got off my ass and sewed up my Jeweled Rose! It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I’m very pleased with it. Those creases in the back will hang out pretty quickly, they’re just where it was flopped down waiting for me to pick it back up for the last couple of months.

Tomorrow I’m having lunch with my friend Connie. We haven’t seen each other in years and I’m really looking forward to it.

Happy knitting!
