I’m too tired to try to get a better one. (I was out ’til 2 last night, and Clark is still sick). But this sock is done. The difference in stitch count between the leg and foot in this pattern is 6 stitches. So at 64 stitches, we got swirly striping in one direction, pooled through the gusset, and in the 58 stitch foot, swirly stripes the opposite direction at a steeper angle.

Weird.

I could rip it and make it a 64 stitch foot, resuming the same striping as on the leg, but I really don’t care. It’s fine as-is, and I like the snugger foot. I have just the toe left on sock #2, and can cross this project out of my WIP’s.

Which is cool.

I really thought I’d be dying to start Josephine by now, but the LYS still hasn’t got my yarn in. Which is convenient at the moment, but it will suddenly become very inconvenient as the summer weeks pass and I run out of time to wear it before the weather changes.

However, my diet has been on hold for a few weeks now, so it’s not like I’m going to fit into it anytime soon anyway. We ate very responsibly at Black Sheep, but since I got home, I haven’t jumped back into the routine. I need to go grocery shopping, make bread, and plan out some meals. I’ve been eating-on-the-go all week, and that just doesn’t work.

Is that not just the coolest ever? We’re looking at making a tablecloth with two long strips- 1/3 polka dots, and 2/3 a nice, yellowish tan color that is in the dryer right now. I think I’m going to serger them together and have a groovy way to protect my table.

And it looks neato in the dining room.
