This is the sock I was going on about yesterday. The lavender yarn is my crochet chain for the provisional cast-on.
Basic heel with a star-of-three-points toe from Knitting Vintage Socks, knit up on some US #1 bamboo dpns. Has anyone else tried this toe style? I used it for my fugly socks, and I totally thought I was being screwy and not counting right, but now I am thinking it's the directions. I'm not certain about it, though, because as soon as it stopped making sense to me I just did my own thing. I am a stickler for symmetry, what can I say?
Oh crap. It's this weekend, isn't it? I still have a sock and a half to go on the Wavy Socks I'm making for my mom. You know... For her birthday last month? Eek.
Last night, I:
- met The Bookish Girl via a Wendy thing
- had a mozzarella and pesto panini, a bag of chips, and a soy latte for dinner at the S'nB
- drank a glass of wine (nearly quaffed it)
- wrote very little
I catsit (catsat?) for Jeanette last weekend and encountered this scale in her kitchen. I don't meet up with scales often, but I think this one needs to be recalibrated or something. It says I'm 15 lbs. overweight.
The scale before this - I think it was in The Bitter Knitter's apartment? - said I was 10 lbs. overweight. That wasn't so long ago, and you all know pretty much what I am eating most days. I find it hard to believe I am blowing up this fast. So... If anyone else has a scale, let me know.I'll come fed your pet or drink your booze or something and play with your scale. Fun!

Sorry to tell you this, but I "calibrate" my scale fairly regularly. I do this by putting my 20lb weights on it an set it to read 20.
Mother's Day is actually NEXT weekend, where by "next" I mean the 14th. I'm still not sure if that gives you enough time for 1.5 socks, but you seem like a pretty fast knitter. Motivate!!
Eeek!
and
Whew!
Man, that sock grew fast!
Mothers day is the weekend after this one...5/14. Does that help at all?
I'm not sure how accurate my scale is. I figure that if I know how much I weigh on it, it will at least tell me if my weight is changing. I'm curious how much different it would be on Jeanette's.
You and my mother are rushing things. At least you got a bit more time. Socks look good!
Go write. I want to find out what happens next.
