Adios, Swan Song...Howdy, Dragonfly!

I did, indeed finish off Swan Song on Saturday and moved on to Dragonfly by Jocelyn Sertich. As with all the socks I'm knitting these days, it's "sorta kinda" Dragonfly socks, because I have a particular toe and heel that feel right on my pudgy foot and I just use patterns for the pretty parts. :-)

I'm really loving this yarn; it's Supersocke 100 by ONline. It's soft and wonderful and springy to work with, and the stripes are working up just beautifully.

We're expecting rain on this Memorial Day, and I really don't mind. I'm planning on spending some more time with sticks and string! :-)

If Only I Could Knit In My Sleep

I very nearly finished my Swan Song socks this evening, but fell asleep in the recliner while knitting the ribbing at the top. *LOL*

I woke up just a few minutes ago and am now on my way to bed, where I should have been HOURS ago. Barring any unforeseen disasters, I'll be able to finish them up in the morning. Er....later today.

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend, everyone!

Michigan Lake Shore Socks Complete!

I just finished and photographed my Michigan Lake Shore Socks....they fit just perfectly, and I'm very pleased. :-)

Tomorrow I'll get back to the Swan Song socks; I've only knit the toe of those, so I'm anxious to get back to them. After Swan Song? I'm thinking maybe Dragonfly. Still thinking about that, though.

Not Yet, But Pretty Soon!

I'm very close to finishing the Michigan Lake Shore Socks; with luck I think I'll finish them one evening this week. I could actually knit the ribbing at the top and be finished now, but wanted to use up as much of the yarn as possible. I'm getting anxious to finish them so I can move on to the Swan Song socks!

Next decision: what shall I cast on after Swan Song? I just love days when those are my "tough" decisions. :-)

Sock Progress, or Why I Love Waiting Rooms

I've spent more time than usual in waiting rooms this week because of some follow-up to back surgery last November. Thankfully all is well, and I spent the waiting room time making progress on my Michigan Lake Shore socks.

When I got home from an appointment yesterday afternoon, I finished up the heels on my socks and began working my way up the legs. Now I'll just knit until I run out of yarn or I get tired of working the pattern, whichever comes first. *G*

I really should take an "in progress" photo, since I've not made one in a week or so. I'll try to remember to do that this evening after work, but I must go now. Mindless drudgery and fluorescent lighting await me. Phooey.

Heel Turning

I turned the heel on one of my Michigan Lake Shore socks last night. I would've turned the other one, but was getting so sleepy by then that I was afraid I'd make a mistake that I'd have to tink out today. *LOL*

Socks and Waiting Rooms

After work yesterday, I had to have some x-rays made (routine follow-up after back surgery last November). It involved some waiting time in Outpatient Registration and a bit more waiting time in Radiology.

Did I care? Not so much. I had my Michigan Lake Shore socks with me. I'd started knitting the heel flap, so I didn't even need to look at the pattern.

This morning I have to go to the lab to have some more routine testing done before I go to work. More sock-knittin' time! :-)

A Knitterly Vacation

While away from the office this past week, I've knitted a LOT on my socks. In fact, during my vacation (not counting today's time), I've knitted 39 hours and 45 minutes! I'll total up today's time when I get ready to go to bed and post it then, because I've been knitting while watching TV this evening and will be getting another hour or so in before bedtime.

Such fun! Alas, tomorrow I must return to the land of mindless drudgery and fluorescent lighting, AKA "Work". Oh well. I have to have a paycheck to support my yarn stash, right? *G*
