Wickedly Round Toes

By -


Here is my latest pair of socks knit with my favorite toe: the round toe. When you elect to use the round toe, you don't knit very far between gusset and toe shaping. This works best for those of us who do not have elegant skinny feet.

Three of the irisheyesknitters, quite by happenstance, saw WICKED at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago yesterday. One irisheyed knitter noticed the crochet cap that Elshaba wore in her opening scene. This knitter also brought her binoculars and found fingerless gloves of all sorts amongst the chorus/dance performers. She also thinks Bok's silver hat was definitely a knitted roll brim in a silvered yarn. Oh I'd love to knit for theatre like some knitters have done.

Few things keep me from my knitting. One is work. The other was WICKED.

Oh I bet you guys had so much fun!!! A play and knitting to admire, how cool!! My best friend had wanted us to go see it on Broadway before she got too big (she's pregnant and due next month), but we couldn't get tickets. :( I certainly can't go see it without her now, but we will go see it eventually (maybe just not on Broadway). I'll be interested to see if there are knitted costumes in the performace I see too. :)

I loved the books (all of his, actually) but the play sold out immediately here. Boo hoo.

Wasn't it great? I didn't notice all the knitted things, though. You guys have good eyes. Love the new socks!

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's their boy.  Insufficient inf

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
