Still The Same
I have been so lazy lately. I have nearly finished the Regia Silk socks. Just the toe needs to be kitchenered. Can you imagine getting that far and just dropping the socks in the UFO pile? Well, I did just that. It's not that I don't love them. It's just laziness. Maybe if the weather was such that I could wear them right away I'd be feeling the pressing need to get them done. Anyway, the Regia Silk yarn is excellent. Knitting it was heavenly. I imagine wearing them will be wonderful. As a matter of fact I am plotting to buy some more.
My father is still in the hospital. He is recovering well from his gall bladder surgery and should have the wound vac removed from his leg next week. Hopefully then he'll be able to work harder on his rehab.
As soon as I finished knitting the Regia Silk socks I ripped out the needles and cast on the Cascade Sassy Stripes yarn. It's basically the same pattern but I decided that the stripey yarn would be best with an after thought heel. The Sassy Stripes yarn is so smooth and very soft. I am pleased with the way the stripes look and how the sock is knitting up.
Clematis question for the gardeners out there. I noticed yesterday that the bottom 3 or 4 pair of leaves have turned brown and died. I know it's had plenty of water since we've had rain nearly every day. This morning it was looking a bit worse so I pulled it out of the ground and moved it to a different part of the yard. It will have less sun in this location and be a bit more protected from dogs. Has anyone seen this problem?
I like the Cascade socks! I'm not much of a gardener, but I do have a
Clematis that I inherited with the house. The only thing I know about them
is that they like to have shady roots/base, but sunny for the leaves. Not
sure if that helps!
Can't help with the gardening issues, I'm afraid. But I do know a good
looking sock when i see one. And you've got several there!
Socks are looking goood. And you are so close on the Regia Silks but i can
understand the laziness.
Please finish the toe!!! The sassy stripes are great. They will look
fantastic with the afterthought heel too! Can't wait to see them!
I do that all the time with almost finished projects, so I must be lazy
too. Actually I think it's more boredom than laziness. You'll finish them
when you feel like it. :)
Yeah, I left my last pair of socks like that for a week or two. All I had
to do was close the toe on the second sock, but it seemed like such a small
job that I never bothered to do it. I think it's a symptom of the weather
-- what's the point of getting the socks finished if it's too hot to wear
them. But it does feel good to finally finish when you get around to
taking care of that toe.
