Day of the Sock

      2 Comments on Day of the Sock

And voila, the first sock is done! Nearly. I still have to weave in all the ends, but the first being done means the roadmap for the second is laid out. I don’t know that I am going to cast on for that tonight… we’ll see. I have to get through this first, ha ha. It’s been a good day,… Read more »

I have almost nothing to say about today, which really, means that I’ve done today properly. I knitted, as the picture hopefully indicates. I’m not too far off of finishing the first soak, though I’ve done like, *maybe* four rows today. I’ve been grinding breeding in Pokémon and playing Tropico 5, which has kept me rather busy. Z had spotted… Read more »

Dillhole

Today, I encountered my first Shiny Pokémon of Generation VII. Unfortunately, it’s a freaking normal-type looooooser with limited potential. I complained about it on Instagram and actually got a reasonable trade offer… but I turned it down. Even if Dillhole is a dillhole, he’s my first shiny of the generation, and I’m not going to let go of him. I… Read more »

Sock Yawn

It’s the alternate Thursday, so it was Pins & Needles time. There were only five us at the group today, which worked out in one aspect — it meant I had more than enough stitch markers to gift. They were well received, and even more so when they twigged that they were handmade by me. Hee. *digs toe into dirt,… Read more »

Smallhausen decided that the window in the stairwell needed a dinosaur yesterday. I commend her choice, as it makes me smile every time I go past. After all, what enhances a household better than a randomly stationed dinosaur? Very little, I’d say. Today has been better, insomuch that the headache was managed with meds, instead of being so bad that… Read more »

Socky!

      No Comments on Socky!

I have somehow survived another day home with the kids. Heh, that makes the situation sound a lot worse than it was. They’re good kids who love to play with each other, but I keep having this stupid persistent throbbing headache, and it doesn’t mesh well with boisterous babes. I pulled Smallhausen over at one point and gave her hugs… Read more »

That’s Better (Cry It Out)

      No Comments on That’s Better (Cry It Out)

As you can see, the sock is now moving in the right direction after I effed it up last night. At least that’s one thing going in my favour right now. Not going in our favour as of this second is trying again to get Littlerbit sleep trained. We had a specialist in this morning (gratis on the NHS, love… Read more »

Turn Turn Turn

I’ve been cheerfully working on my knitting today. It’s been a good distraction (along with video games) to my continually feeling crap. Stupid cold resurging or something, am I right? Of course, I got ahead of myself on my knitting, as pictured here. I tried to turn the heel without actually doing the heel. At least it wasn’t too much… Read more »

What Is This Even

      No Comments on What Is This Even

One thing that is great about ordering a curry is that we have to order two night’s worth to actually get anyone to deliver to us out here in the ‘boonies’. I ate well here on day two, probably a bit more than I should have. But that doesn’t explain why I’ve been slammed by a huge wave of dizzy…. Read more »

*Throws Confetti*

I ended up working a lot longer today than I thought I was going to be working, but I am in really freaking, caught up to where I want to be caught up shape. I’m still going to have to put in a few hours next week and the week after in preparation for how slammed we get in January…. Read more »
