Too bad I sliced my finger open

and it bled, and bled, and bled. I'm not feeling very well right now. :(

So, I thought I had one more repeat and then it would be on to the toe for the Russian's sock. However, I tried it on my own foot and it's about toe-time for ME. Therefore, I think I need at least one more 10 row repeat (but most likely two) before I can begin the man-toe. This sucks. I really half-wanted to get this done tonight. Oh well. I'm going to have Max try it on when he gets home from work...and just take it from there.

Until then, I'll try to work on other things. Tatoeba, the second sock in the Child's First Sock pair. I grabbed some addis in the appropriate size to give that two circular needle method a try. It seems pretty straight forward, but I'm worried about working the yarn overs...it's probably easy...probably.

I also need to work on the Lace Blouse a bit. The increases for the armholes are finished. I just need to work the thing across until it is somewhere in the ballpark of 18". This sure is one slow-moving project, but it is easy to pick up...and fun to knit, even if I'm only semi-dedicated to its completion.

Well, we all know that lately I'm obsessed with the idea of thigh-high stockings (oh, you didn't know? Well, now you do). Of course, I've mentioned these from time to time...but now I'm starting to shift my attention to these. The latter is a very CHEAP download...only a buck twenty-nine...the former is seven. Neither are going to break the bank, so to speak...and I can't buy yarn for either of them anyway...not until I've finished these other socks I have on the needles...but the question is this. Should I just download the patterns so that I have them...or is that something that will only succeed in making me miserable for a while (while at the same time tempting me away from my goals)?

Because right now...here's the thing...you see...

Well, the thing is that I don't really feel like working on the second Child's First Sock...and I'm so eager to just get Max's sock off the effin' needles...I can't imagine casting on for number two right now! How, with an attitude like this, am I ever to complete the pairs? I'm just going to have to suck it up, I guess.

Someone tell me it's OK to download BOTH of those patterns today...that I'm strong enough to just look at them...but you know what? Knit picks sock yarn is SOOOO cheap...and today was payday....

Today's payday. That's what this is about...there's a hole in my pocket.
