Jan. 2nd, 2004 09:39 amI get to enjoy a slow wake-up this morning; By had to work today. And again on Monday.

anguisetteowner is still dozing on the sofa bed. He and By were up late last night playing with his drawing program and talking about By's ideas for redoing our house (at least, that was what I was listening to as I drifted off to sleep).
Not much socking (or other knitting) to report. Someone's still being a distraction. Did make it to the heels on my Some-Assembly-Required Xmas yarn sox...made it to the heels twice, in fact. Didn't like the way the heels worked in the pattern as written (the designer must have flat feet, no room for arches), so I ripped back a couple of inches and did the basic toe-up gusset increases and heel.
Think my next sock project to start will be a heavy boot sock/slipper out of the sock book By's mother gave me (published by Spinoff Magazine, some very neat stuff)--double thick yarns, #8 needles, only 28 sts around.....thought that might be nice to make for R. in a dark green acrylic, for when he gets shipped out (and don't you tell him,ladymurmur, this is a surprise!) May have to chase down #8 sock needles. But that's ok, I need to get some reinforcing thread to match my alpaca sock yarn, and more #2's. (I've broken a bunch lately--guess I need to think of those as a use-up knitting tool.)
Now that the caffeine's kicked in, I feel like doing something. Knit, or wake B. up?
*ponders a moment*
*toddles off to wake the sleeping person*
