Alone

Day One: Cleaning out studio; I found long lost sock. Hmmm, why did I only knit one?

It's all coming back to me now . . .

The rest of the yarn took a midnight stroll through the house with a kitty. Silly of me to leave it in a Ziploc bag inside another bag next to my bed.


I love a good challenge but even I was doubtful of getting this back into one, continuous piece. It's hard to stay mad at her when she warms your lap as you go!


So after many twists, turns and tugs and three hours of Brenda Leigh Johnson and Fritz (sigh - Fritz!), just three balls of yarn. I'd REALLY like to not have to change yarn in the middle of a sock . . . .


I RULE!
The rest, into the basket of sock ends and mini-skeins. All-in-all, a good day. Except I guess I have to actually knit that sock.

I hate untangling stuff like that. But knitting the sock is the reward! yay!

How did you manage three hours of Brenda Leigh & Fritz? I only saw one! (I agree w/you about Fritz.)

You teeny tiny feet people.

What would we do without those 4-legged darlings? Glad you were able to untangle that mess. You should knit the mate soon - they're very neat looking socks!

And to think you could've saved that untwisting for the inevitable comment "I'm bored" which should be coming sometime next week.

I'm sure you've got plenty of other fun things to prevent boredom laying around... I know I've been stock piling.

Rewinding yarn can be a little therapeutic, especially if there is Fritz.

(I have a very similar box of sock ends and mini-skeins....)

Miss T said...

Yes, you do. Get knitting!

Those leftovers would make very cute preemie hats.

Fritz?

Fritz.....um, excuse the drool on your message board. Let me wipe that up.

A crockery bowl holds my mini skeins and leftovers -- they are perfect for Kleenex cozies. I'm glad you will be able to knit a second sock -- I like the first!

It's fun to untangle yarns, occasionally.

Aw. Sammy took a stroll through the house but was afraid she could't find her way back?

You do rule! I hate having to add yarn mid-sock.
