One Knit Step Forward
Finished a pedi sock with doubled yarn.
I love how the stripes kept up.
The doubling hurt my fragile wrists.....so the second pedi sock will have to wait.
I have to say I am so much better about second sock stuff.
It isn't even a syndrome for me anymore.
Not to brag....but....I'm much less obsessive with my knitting.
I think all the podcasters have made me feel normal.
Or close to normal.
Most of them don't fuss and muss after knitting a sock.
They have piles of them unmatched and unfinished.
The knit gods have not seemed to punish them ....
and the day comes when they have a real pair of socks.
It really does.
My favorite garden shop had a makeover.
Isn't this VW van planter so cute?
They also had a sign that said,
IN DOG BEERS I"VE ONLY HAD ONE
My vet loved that.
Yes that's snow again, today but I'm not giving it any power.
See the daffodils blooming anyhow?
Who am I kidding?
I do remind myself that it isn't just snowing in my yard.
Everyone around here has the same thing, so buck up.
I swear I do not complain of 90 and 100s heat.
I sort of love it.
A long long time ago, I participated in a keychain tiny sock swap.
I lost my blue tiny sock years ago.
Last night I decided I needed to go very easy on my wrists and so I knitting up a new keychain sock.
I should block it .
Or would that be obsessive?

I've never had Second Sock Syndrome, either; I'm eager to finish the pair.

What can I say about your snow. Certainly not this too shall pass, because our Chicago peeps feel like it's going to hang around till next winter. We are having wicked weather here again too--if that helps.
So sorry about the wrists. I think I am dealing with the beginning of carpal tunnel myself. My hands go to sleep when I knit in the morning. Only in the morning. Weird.
I think Wyoming has seen its last big snow storm for the year, but I'm keeping my shovels handy, just in case.
I looked great, but inside ---- I was dying a slow, burning death a little bit.
The little keyring sock is adorable. I wouldn't block it. It's just gonna get knocked around anyway.
Your little keychain sock is perfect!
