weekend report, sock report
Feb. 11th, 2008 10:58 ami had a great weekend.
i slept a lot.
i watched movies with ross and house md episodes with susan and made good food and pretty much did nothing that would exert myself and prevent my wellness...except going to the grocery store for more oj and supplies for letting me eat vegetarian through the week.
last night i made a zateran's black beans and rice mix with chopped red pepper and fresh tomatoes...mmmm.
all in all the weekend was very relaxing and i am feeling MUCH better today.
i also got substantial knitting on the nutkin socks accomplished....AND i would have gotten much further than i am...except that the short-row heel pattern is very weird. it is creating all kinds of holes that displease me. i'm thinking about ripping it out (again) and just doing one of the other short row heels that i KNOW works...but i have written the designer on ravelry and am hoping she will help me figure out if i am doing something wrong first. i would really like this to be a learning experience because i vastly prefer to learn new heels i can use rather than feel like i have wasted my time on something that doesn't work. the socks are very orange and stripey and soft and i think i will be very happy with the completed project.
