A little this... a little that...

First, remind me not to go to the grocery store at 8:00 am on a Monday. Especially if I need things like fresh salad or milk.

Second, Matt's doing much much better. The worse part of the chicken pox for him was the 2 days of fever before the welts showed up. He's been a little itchy, but not as bad as some poison ivy he's had. He's well on the mend, but he's going to stay in for an other day or two. He wants to say thank you to everyone that sent good wishes!

Third, I'm almost done with the first Jaywalker sock. I'm finishing up the afterthought heel (I don't like doing heel flaps with the self striping yarns, as it breaks up the pattern).


So I'll finish that up today and get the next one started. I did order two other colors of the simple stripes yarn. (Just because I don't particularly enjoy knitting socks doesn't mean I don't enjoy buying the yarn).

Fourth, Marilyn and I are going to see other people for a while. I didn't think she was communicative enough, and she felt like I didn't know how to follow directions. Basically, I messed up all the work I had done when I re-started working on her this month. It all has to be frogged and re-worked. So a little break, but she and I will come to terms eventually.

Fifth, Bonnie tagged me with a meme, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow to do it.

And finally, I'm also back to working on the Lasso Gansey. I had put it aside earlier this month as I thought the tight gauge was the cause of the sore arm that kept me from knitting for a few days (in retrospect, it's been decided that in fact I had a mild outbreak of the shingles, hence Matt's chicken pox). So I'm more confident doing that tight gauge again.

So thanks again for all the well wishes for Matt. He truly appreciated them!

Happy Knitting!!!
