Impressive Progress Report

Well, I'm quite pleased to announce that I nearly finished the leg of sock number 2 today. In fact, I have only 10 rows to go before starting the heel and I might try to finish them before I head to bed tonight. There were multiple distractions today and yet I still made excellent progress. First up, an old friend from high school stopped by to chat for an hour or so. I tried calling Lisa 3 times between 2-4:30 pm because she owes me money that I need to pick up before I head out of town. Then I drove by her house to see if she was home (twice) and picked up dinner. I took a small nap by accident, watched Hell's Kitchen, took a few phone calls, and called my brother. Later, I caught up with a friend online. Given that I rarely knit for more than 20 minutes in one sitting, it's amazing I got so much done. I just took frequent breaks, moved around a lot, and knit off and on throughout the entire day. I know other knitters out there will sit for hours and knit, but I can't do that. My attention span isn't that great and I fear that if I knit for long periods of time that my wrist problems will come back. So, I only knit in short bursts, yet I occasionally get stuff done.

Oh and my mom bought me a present today when she went to her favorite sewing store. It just so happens that her favorite sewing store is about 2 store fronts away from a yarn store. So, she popped in to the yarn store to buy me a gift. She did a really excellent job! I was quite excited when I opened the bag and found a double hank of Tiny Toes in gorgeous shades of purple, turquoise, and green. It's quite lovely to be honest. This yarn will not be used to make a gift. Nope, it's all mine! I will be winding it and playing with it soon, I hope. I need a pair of gorgeous socks for myself despite my general aversion to wearing them. Thank the knitting Gods that I have both Sensational Knitted Socks and More Sensational Knitted Socks because I'm certain the perfect pattern is in one of them. I almost wish I could start playing with it now. But, first, Alicia's socks will be done before her wedding. They will! :)
