*GASP* I had a full day this week without touching my
knitting beyond the carry back and forth between home, work, and home again. My
only excuse is that I was watching the St. Louis Cardinals lose the World
Series. The night was a rough at my house that night. DH wasn’t able to turn
the game on at the start due to DS1 and DS2 being themselves. For some reason the boys think they need fed
every night and to control the TV. The TV must be toddler shows so that when it
strikes their fancy to watch 30 seconds, they can before going back to crashing
trucks together. Sometimes Mommy’s
allowed to crash a few trucks or tractors and others Mommy is the bad guy
stopping the trucks from crashing into her walls, cabinets, doors, furniture,
or kitty. I know, I know; Mean Mommy!
All that excitement at my house and I still managed a few
minutes in deep conversation with DS1. We discussed the merits of a pair of
hand knit socks. He has kindly agreed that he would like a pair of socks made
by Mommy. While the color he suggested was orange, Mommy asked about the green
and black yarn leftovers from her socks. That should be ok so a new pair of
socks made their way onto the new Addi Sock Rocket needles purchased at
Yarniverse. Of course there was nothing more than the cast on by the time of
this blog post. My perfect socks that will match DS1’s future socks look
wonderful at work with my Abotanicity Sweater by Cassie Rovitti.
After several more rows, my Dr. Watson sweater is ready to
be divided for the front and back. Now the math I’ve been putting off becomes a
priority. Oops. Procrastination catches
up even with the best of them. The good news is that I know the next stitch
count but I want to look at a few more areas before I truly divide out the
front and back. Do I want to finish my lunch hour with math or with knitting on
DS1’s socks? Either way I think the
knitting on the front or back of the sweater sounds like an awesome Friday
night.
