Whew!

by barbara waters

At just 4 weeks post-op, this has been a bit of a tough week. I think I probably pushed just a bit too hard. Decided to try for 8 hour days this week - and pretty much made it right up to Friday.

At five hours Friday my body said NO MORE! And, there wasn’t even a “please” attached to it. Sigh! So, I signed out, told everyone I would be available by phone if needed and came home to crash in my chair. (I love my chair sometimes! These times, for instance.)

In between snoozes I finished another pair of baby socks. I actually made three socks from this particular yarn. Midway through the second sock the patterning seemed to change and it was too different from the first to make me totally happy. ( there had been a break in the yarn and I guess I missed when I picked up the pattern again) So, I pulled enough yarn out of the skein to find the right starting point and, while a tad different in the heel, I was quite happy with the results.

My friends and I had coffee this morning to show off our completed projects from the last few months and that is why all the baby socks are on the table with our bags. There will be more pictures over the next few days. I’ve got a shot of a really cute hat to show you, too.

In the meantime, all of your Big Brother fans, check out Lessa’s blog to see the latest news.

    Those are cute. Do you have a pattern? About how long does it take to finish a pair? I need a quick project for work/lunches.
    Great job.

    Happy Knitting

    I’m having problems commenting lately… Says duplicate. Anyway I like the baby socks. Can you share the pattern. I’m looking for an easy quick project to work on at lunch time.

    Linda - I apologize - just found your comments tonight - apparently the spam blocker grabbed several comments and hid them from me.

    I do have a pattern for the socks - they are so very simple. The pattern is part of a calendar a friend gave me last year for my birthday.

    I’ll try to type it up for you and email it to you - okay?

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
