So anyway, I finished the Stars and Bars Sox:
Are those not darling or what?? I love how they’re symmetrical. I ripped them apart once because they were one stripe off and it was driving me crazy! And since I make both socks at the same time, I had ended up with two big fat snarls of yarn, which I threw at the Hubster and said, “Make me two identical balls!”
Balls of yarn, you degenerates. Sheesh.
So he did (because, oddly enough, he likes challenges like that) and I reknitted them and look how cute they are! Just in time for Memorial Day. I’ve gone off socks for a while, so now I’ve started a new ruana (it’s like a poncho/shawl). This one will be for Mom for Christmas and I’ll make another one for the SIL for her Christmas present. Bubba asked for a pair of socks, and I have some lovely glencheck grey wool that should work well.
Yes, Christmas presents, knitters have to start early, you know!
I’ve also started going back to the gym and I’m trying to kill myself with Zumba, a high-energy salsa dancing/aerobics/jumping around and shaking your booty until you slip a disc kind of class. And since it’s now getting to be 100* before 9 am these days, I’ve been sweating like an ox. Time to move the fan into the den and point it at my chair! Ugh.
Still looking for a job. Ugh again.
Still, I’d rather be unemployed than do this for a living:
