Long Post !! Set a Spell
*I frogged the first attempt with this sock yarn.
Dee you inspired me to Get it Right.
It was too loose on 1's.
I don't have 00s do you?
I did the next best thing: I double the yarn.
The repeats are frequent enough to be doubled AND get that fun stripey effect.
These are going to be those shorty ped socks.
*I've been listening to podcasts.
The Fat Squirrel is so nutty! Pun intended.
She is a goof for sure ...and she chases the winter blues away.
I'm not sure what she's on....but whatever it is, she's funny.
*I listened to Yarnspinners Tales podcast She was talking about a cable needle ring you wear on your finger . It is Leslie Wind's creation at lesliewind.com.
Not sure I need it, but I do love the concept.
*I'm reading a book called Bear in the Backseat. It is a Smoky Mountain Ranger's book of stories. We are headed there to visit with Al soon. I'm not looking for Bears that's for sure.
*It is that time of year again.
Sigh.
Sigh
the Masters is on.
Fireman is a very good golfer.
He also loves to watch the sport on TV.
I like to watch him golf.
I try to golf. I swat at that ball.
We went to the driving range the other day and I wasn't
leaving until I hit 3 good drives in a row. Took awhile.
So, I do not like to watch golf, at all,on TV.
It makes me bonkers.
Fireman and I created our own kind of Masters Bracket.
We each picked 5 golfers to win.
I'll be plugging in my headphones and listening and watching podcasts.
If the library would ever get my HOLD to me on Dr Pols Season 4 I'd be very appreciative.
Thank God for knitting. Seriously.
(as if I needed an excuse!)
Do you watch the Masters?

And, yes... thank goodness for knitting, every. single. day!
I'm not a fan but it keeps him busy so I can do my own thing.
I love your shorty socks. Great colors!!
Love the sock makeover. I have 00s in DPNs but not in circulars.

I zone or listen to my own laptop so I am with him and he can talk to me even tho I have earbuds in......the things you do for love!
Steve is the golfer in our family. Me --- I can't get a smooth swing to save my life and people around me need to look out. You never know WHICH way my ball will zing!
Cute sockettes. I do not use 00 needles. I'm a fairly tight knitter I'm guessing. 1-1/2 needles are my go to.
Blessings,
