R.I.P. Jaywalkers
OK, so I have huge monkey feet (no offense to any monkeys intended). I had turned the heel on the first Jaywalker and was working on the decreases to continue onto the foot, when I noticed this gaping hole and I could NOT figure out what I had done. So I took the needles out, ripped it back or so rows, and decided now was a good time to just try it on for size. I COULDN’T FIT IT OVER MY FLIPPIN HEEL! Granted, I am swollen as hell because I am 38 weeks pregnant, so I had my mom try it on because her feet are much closer to my ‘real’ feet size. She couldn’t either. I was in love with how they were turning out, too…
So I did look for other Chevron patterns that I could use, but I am going to wait. I think I am going to get a more solid color sock yarn and just knit something lacey. It stretches more, and frankly, I have been working on this sock so much lately (for me) I just need a break from this type of pattern. I was very happy with how it was turning out, so I don’t hate you, oh ripped Jaywalkers, but we must part for a bit of time.
Finished the gloves for bro’s friend…will post pics of that tomorrow, they are going out in the mail and they are outta here! WOO HOO! Also need to post pics of the kiddo with his minion, which he has slept with since I made it for him…he loves it.
I also was working on a Grumpasaurus tonight for my son using LB Magic Stripes in black, white and red (his choice), and it turned out looking like poo. I realized this when I was just about done with his body, so mommy is making an executive decision tomorrow and picking some solid colors for his wee Grumpy dinosaur.
I am the hugest fan of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, and it’s killing me not to watch the episodes from this season, but I have my C-Section scheduled soon and I figured that would be a really good thing to do while I was recooperating from that. I wasn’t sure how droopy/drugged I would be and wasn’t sure about the knitting, but TV watching I could handle. If I can knit, great, I will when I’m watching my shows, if not, no biggie I still have something to do.
That’s about it, my so-called life!
