5 am EST :) Saturday

And I haven't been to bed since 1 am EST Friday....why you ask...spent 4 hrs with FIL in ER, just as I was going to bed, MIL called and he was having some minor complications with his surgery from yesterday...so I met the ambulance there and commenced to be in the waiting room...where I pulled out my trusty sock (only got a few rows before the eyelids started to close though! He's doing much better, just brought him home and I was starved, went to the McDonald's 24 hr drive through, nourished myself, and now just waiting for food to settle before I hit the bed. :)

Sock progress!!! Weee... It is going so much easier than I thought, I understand a lot more now, at least on a basic sock. The heel flap was done on dpns and is too tight I think, I won't try that again, I'll stick to magic loop until I learn 2 circ method the on to 2 socks w/2circs we'll find out soon. But, I'm not too picky, it is my first sock you know...that is why I saved the good yarn for later :)



Only 1 more day to find out who my Knittyboardtm SP 6 will be!!!

On the KO news...I made it on
Yarn Harlot's participant list...so now all I gotta do is finish and get my gold :) I am on Team Knittyboardtm and my sport is tote bag knitting and felting..hehe

I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL. But look at at that sock! It's looking great! And if you have the needles to do it magic loop style, why bother with 2 circs? Do you think it'll be that much easier? Let me know. Maybe I'll have to learn me some magic.

Best get well wishes to your FIL!!! And I have done the 2 circ method - what I remember from years ago when I used it is that you have to pay attention because some patterns are written specifically for 4-5 dpns. That's my .02 :)
