The kiddo is sick, which is no fun for her. I had to go pick her up from school Tuesday, but Wednesday she seemed fine. Then she developed a wicked cough. So home she stayed yesterday and today she will stay home as well, since she was up and down all night last night. Lucky for me, it was hubby's night off, so he was here and awake to take care of her.
Better news is that her sock a) fits and b) seems to be going well. I am past the gussets and have maybe an inch to go before I start the toe. Woo hoo!
My plan this weekend is to go buy some jump rings or toggle clasps and redo all my stitch markers. I made my own a few years back, but the loops of wire just get squished and frankly they are a bit bulky for sock knitting. So I want to get some small rings and only attach a few beads like this. I looked at buying some, there are some adorable ones out there, but most seem awfully large for sock knitting (Ring-wise. I need small rings, not rings that fit a size 10 needle, lol). And frankly, for the price I pay to buy and ship them, I can make a ton of my own! I already have beads, and the rings and head pins are pretty damned cheap. Although I may have to look at new beads anyway ;)
But ummm, my point is, I really need stitch markers :)~ I tend to ladder if I don't move my stitches around, so my stitches travel from one needle to the next, so I really need markers to let me know especially where the top of the foot is so I can knit in pattern. Plus, it will be nice to be able to stick the correct stitches back on the correct needles before I start decreasing for the toe!
Anyhoo, going to go knit for a bit before I go to work. Ciao!
