Socks or fingerless? Please vote

By -


I am nearing the decision point. Should I make these waffle socks or waffle fingerless?
I have Olypmics to watch. I have a new dog to smother with love and walks and toys.
I am taking a little trip soon......

I am leaning towards fingerless. I think I just decided. Thanks. I need to make some fingerlesss for some great women that work at the shelter with me. Fingerless are needed all spring and into May in Chicagoland. The wind off the lake stays
in control until about June.

5 things I am happy about:

*Al passed her nursing boards. !!!!!!!!!!!!

*I dropped Cricket's leash by accident this morning and he took off running, towards the busy road. I called him so
cheerily "CRICKET COME".......he stopped, looked around for me, and ran full tilt back to me.

*My neighbor says Cricket can use her fenced yard for us to play in until we put up a new fence in spring.

*My back is feeling good ......walking a new dog sure helps.

*I am next in line for CUBA in the Round on Ravelry!

Have a great Opening Ceremony Knit Night!





I talk more in the comments!

I joined the Take it or Leave it Round Robin on Ravely. The idea is someone starts a box with yarns and goodies to be sent to 10 people. The
"Rounds" are named for Hollywood folk. I am in the Cuba Gooding Jr. Group, hence Cuba.
When the box arrives, you take as many things out as you want, and replace it with an equivalent number of items. The box goes back to the original box filler in the end.
Im a newbie, but the box for Cuba is on its way to me next!!!!!!!!!

What great news about Al.

I think whichever you would use more is what they are destined to be. I am not the fingerless glove sort myself - the concept just doesn't make sense to me - if it's cold, I wear gloves or mittens since the coldest part is my fingers not the palms or wrists, and as a fashion statement, well, I work in an engineering lab where fashion is not a word. But I am not always with it.

I hope you have great fun with the box with lots of goodies (or goodings) you NEED.

Fingerless!!!

Did you see ice speed skating? Gold for our little country on the 5000 m! I am curious to see what Sven is going to do on the 10 km.

It's probably too late to matter, but I vote fingerless too.

And HOORAY! for Cricket! Coming when you're called is a huge deal, but so is having a fenced yard to play in until she has her own.

 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...
