Day 5 = decisions, decisions, work...

Well I was busy and productive today. Way too much time spent driving around. I have completed the 'to-do' list. My career coach provided me with some great ideas that I will look into over the weekend or Monday. I think I am taking the weekends off from the count. I only worked 3 days a week, I don't think I am going to work 7 to find a new job - for now. Took a Meyers/Briggs, I am both an ENFP, with an equal part of an ENTP. It is really cool how the test results for that never seem to change, even the F/T being tied - 4 times now.

We decided to stay in town, take advantage of the weather and try to get some of the 2+ pages of the to-do list done. No real news on the major decision, so we all will keep busy over the next two days.

Riverview Olympics update: Gunnar came in 136 in the 5K (that is good). His class also won the tug-o-war. Sunburns were had by all.

Finally, I am done with clue #2 on my May Mystery sock. Not only is the pattern and what the sock will look like a mystery, but also who will be the lucky recipient - they are too small for M or I and to 'girly' of colors for G. Will start clue #3 tomorrow right after I wind my ball for Mascot from Blue Hands Fibers/All Raveled Up sock club. I even have a pattern ready for the Mascot yarn. It is the Trystero by Cookie A. Really excited for that one!

Well, for tomorrow: GOT TO FIND SUNSCREEN!

Hiya Hiya Monkey Socks...

I finished up my first ever Cookie A. Monkey sock. I knit it with a 9" Hiya Hiya 1.5 circular. Loved it, the Pagewood Farms yarn looked awesome! After the first few rounds, really liked the needles too. Ok, onto sock #2 (no 2nd sock syndrome). So after 5 rounds of the monkey 11 row pattern, I hold it up to the 1st soc, and my gauge is totally different! It was a really frustrating FROG! I moved up to size 3 and am working with 2 circulars - I think it is going to match, but still need to complete full pattern round. UGH!

Well, here's hoping my gauge has stablized on the Hiya Hiya's, I want to knit more socks with them. More soon....

Lazy Saturday

Well, I have finished my toe-up socks. I don't like this pattern, the toe and heel don't seem like they will wear well. Time will tell. I also gathered most of the socks I have made and took a picture.


M is still sick and missed her retreat this weekend. She isn't happy, but she really still isn't well, so such is life. G is out on the slopes today, so we here at the homestead are being lazy. I like Saturday's like this.

Just a few notes.
