Why me?

okay, so the title goes along with the kind of week i had. i worked really hard to make sure everything was done so i could spend the weekend playing. well one disaster after another occur ed everything from dropping andrew off at the wrong practice field to spending two hours trying to fix the SOTS, 1 hour spent getting myself to a point where i could begin again, to almost another hour trying to finish one row!! and a variety of other "things" along the way.

i don't understand, it's enough to make you want to drink like a fish, and swear like a sailor, however, if you do that latter, there's no way anything you knit is going to work.

however, on the bright side i finally finished these. . .




okay, so it took me knitting 3 socks to get 1 pair, and because i'm a ditz, i had to redo the foot not once, but TWICE, because i kept forgetting to do the gussett shaping! anyway, my first pair of socks are finished, and i'm wearing them today to the movies. we're going to see Queen Elizabeth, and then i'm coming home and i'm not touching the SOTS, but will continue with the "moss" sweater, i'm hoping i won't be screwing up that before it's over!!!! i'll also do some more work on the 2nd pair of socks in the strawberry switchblade. . . i hope i have more to report on sunday with regards to the SOTS, i don't want to give it up, but i'm on the edge with it now!

woohoo! a FINISHED pair of socks is definitely something to celebrate. Maybe SotS just needs a good timeout!
