2 down, way too many to go

Posted on July 3rd, 2008 in RainbowHappySock, socks by bethtoons ||

We are in the midst of a huge project at work right now, and I am scheduled with 12-hour days July 1 - the 13th, then I get to carry the pager for a week. Crazy and tired doesn’t even begin to describe it, and I’m only on day 3. So, blog updates will be even more sporadic than usual. I think I basically told my parents to pretend I don’t exist and that I would talk to them again on the other side.

During craziness prep this weekend though, I did finish another pair of socks.

These were extremely fast, toe-up stockinette socks out of Ultramerino on size 3s. I think I knit the pair in about 4 days and used up all but the teeniest scrap of the yarn in both balls. Very cushy and comfy.

I do have a sock in my bag that I’ve been picking at between calls after hours on these long days, and I’m slowly adding stitches to the purple socks from sock madness every night before I go to sleep, so I may have a couple more finished pairs to show off in the next couple weeks… but I have to survive first.

Meanwhile, the Rainbow sock is gallivanting around Europe. 

Maybe just a little jealous. Maybe.

    I’m jealous of the Rainbow Sock too.

    I hope you survive the next two weeks with your sanity intact!

    Long days, I hope you find some time to rest your mind in between,

    Seeing rainbow sock travel always brightens my day.
