Go No Go

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

I’m currently no go for launch on the socks. I’ve managed to cast on my provisional cast on, but that is it. Josh managed to suck me into watching House last night. OK, so it was on and he was on his laptop, so I just kind of took my time going through sock patterns and got distracted by the show.

Today I got distracted by my dad’s tomato plants. They needed to be transplanted and that is what I have been doing up until about twenty minutes ago. Now I am continuing to try and clean the dirt from under my nails before I start knitting. I’m going with the same sock as last time, Wendy’s toe-up sock pattern. Hey, it’s easy and I like toe-up socks. Depending on the amount of yarn, I may make them longer than footies this go around.

The anticipation

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

I’m pacing the house and checking every fifteen minutes waiting to find out what my programming grade is. I hope he is going to be nice and post the grade on the class site rather than force me to wait for “report cards” to be posted on Tuesday. It is killing me.

So, in order to avoid checking every fifteen minutes, I am thinking I will knit myself a pair of socks. I still have work to do on the fish blanket, but because the fish can be knitted so quickly, it won’t serve the purpose I need. A sock will keep me busy for a while. I’m thinking of trying some of the patterns from some of the books I have or else something off of a website. I’ve yet to do cuff down socks, so I may give that a try. I do love me some toe-up technique, so I don’t know.

So, I have to do some knitting. I’ve cleaned as much as I can, so knitting is my only option!
