Knitting Admission: I took steroids

By -


Yes, I need to come clean. I did knit this pair of socks while taking steroids. This is the only time I have knitted on steroids.
I know...you thought I just bulked up from isometrics in the chair. Now there will be an asterisk beside my name. *Kathy B.

Why did I do it? Pressure really. Some of you have Godgiven talent. Sock of the month club people, I am in awe of you.
And there was no pain while knitting this pair of socks. No knit pain, that is. Oh I found myself a little bit edgy.....I broke a few things along the way. Mostly things that dropped to the floor as I hobbled unable to pick them up myself.

So, due to some unexplained back pain, I was precribed a steroid pack. I found myself moody: missing Huck more. After all he'd pick up anything for me and in a cheerful and happy to help way. Fireman isn't nearly as eager to do so. He simply won't eat off the floor like Huck did. Even if it is a Frango Mint.

So there . My admission. Forever, *Kathy B.
I talk more in the comments!

Your socks look great!

My house is always cleaner when I'm on steroids (usually for a case of poison ivy). I have to do something with all that energy!

FRANGO MINTS!!! I miss them so. You know, I must check Macy's down here for them. But it just makes me sad it doesn't say Marshall Fields. Hope you feel better. Patt

I agree, dogs save us lots of time and energy that we would have to spend cleaning up spills.

 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 ha...

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 the...
