You Heard It Here First

Knitting by Judy @ 6:45 am PST

So… not much knitting to show. The Rooster Feather socks are in the knitting black hole. It doesn’t matter how long or how diligently I knit on them. If you look at the picture in the last post, that’s pretty much what they still look like. Progress only comes in tiny little increments. I have an inch or two left before the gusset increases start. I have to be ready to turn the heels by Tuesday. I. Will. Make. It.

You know, when #1 Son moved out I lost half my blog-fodder. I must resolve to do something more than work (not blogged about) so I have more stuff to blog. Either that or I’m going to have to start hanging out with #1 Son and all his buddies.

No… As much as I love him… well… I think not.

Confidential to Maia: Your first comment was put in moderation. I have no idea why, since there didn’t appear to be anything remotely spam-like about it. At least it didn’t send you to the FBI site, which is what it used to do. There seems to be a very fine line between “spam” and “not spam.” I’d really like to eliminate the former while letting the latter go through uneventfully. The technology just doesn’t seem to be quite there yet.

If anyone else ever has problems posting a comment, please let me know!

On another note, gentle reader, I don’t know if you have seen the new article by Kate Antonova in knitty.com titled It’s not a stash… It’s a collection? It’s a good article. But, just remember, you heard it here first.
