A Change in Plans May 28, 2008

I started making these earlier this week, and I decided to give these socks to Taryn instead of the Rainy Day Socks.

I got bored with knitting the RDS, so I finished one sock and started on the second one. I wanted to try making a textured heel flap, so I played around with a slip-stitch pattern (pictures to come when I get new batteries for my camera). So, while both socks are good, they do not match completely. I don’t want to rip out everything I’ve done with the second sock, so I’m just going to finish it and keep the pair for myself, and give Taryn the Monkeys instead.

Knitting these socks has been a lot of fun. I cast on the first sock on Monday, and then it just kept on growing and growing.

Right now I’m really close to grafting the toes together. I think I’m going to finish the first sock and cast on the second one today.

First Rainy Day Sock

I started on one of the socks today. I figured I owed myself a treat, so I casted on and now I’m one and a half repeats in.

I had two finals today, one of which I studied a lot for, and I think I did well on both.

After I took the exams, I slept. I haven’t been sleeping well lately. I haven’t had problems not sleeping, which did come in handy for studying, of course. I have one exam tomorrow that shouldn’t be difficult, and a paper due on Wednesday.

After that, I’m done with Spring semester. Ah, it’s so close!

I’m going to go study for my Japanese final and outline my Core paper now.

So close so close so close…
