Absolutely insane work hours the past few weeks. I'm so far behind on everything that I have resorted to fast groceries. I am more of a 'from scratch' cook so buying tortillas, sliced deli style meats, cookies, and bread is highly unusual. It is helping keeping our tummies full, though not always happily.
Surprisingly I am almost finished with a sock. Started it March 30. I just need to finish one more round then cast off. I went with a simple design, black toe, 3 rows of colorwork, pink foot, black heel, part of a pink leg, 3 rows of colorwork then finish off with 3 inches or so of black. Since it doesn't require thought I can do half a round here and there and it is flew off the needles.
I'm trying out a new circular needle too. I ordered a red lace ChiaoGoo circular when I was ordering a tiny crochet hook for beads. It was a bit of change but overall I enjoy it. The big differences are the cable (not as floppy) and the needle isn't as slick. The former it turns out I quite like, the latter was an adjustment. The cables joins are so perfect that they are a joy.
I also slipped and ordered yarn. Oops. A lovely sock yarn called Bugga! from The Verdant Gryphon I've spent a fair amount of time, since it arrived, trying to decide on which pattern to make. The yarn was a splurge for me so I want to be sure to choose well. I have a bit of time yet as I have to finish the current socks.
Off to work for me. Best count this as a Tuesday post as I don't expect enough free time to come back by then.
