I guess if life is going to suck, one might as well have cute shoes, hm?

I ordered some Keds Mary Janes to better show off my handknit socks. They’re cute! I think I need to break them in a wee bit–they’re size 8.5 and fit pretty well with socks on, but I’m hoping they will loosen up a little.

And I am *still* chugging away on my Brick House knee sock! Last night, I tried doing ribbing instead of increases, and got about 13 rounds done till I realized I just did not like the way it looked (because of where I had started the ribbing). So I went to bed, figuring I would fix it this afternoon. haha…I actually got out of bed, went back to my sock, and ripped it all the way back to the start of the ribbing. I continued in stockinette and am doing increases every three rounds up the calf. And can you believe it, I didn’t drop any stitches! I think I’m getting better at frogging.

That’s the true profile of a knitting addict–getting out of bed to fix a project, fixing it successfully, THEN having the peace of mind to go back to bed and fall asleep.

I’m trying not to think about Thanksgiving much. The girl I work with, bless her heart, invited me over to her house when I told her today that the husband isn’t coming home this weekend. I think I might go…I really don’t want to be alone. Not on Thanksgiving! Besides, I’ve been wanting to meet her four crazy cats, hehe. I think I need to be a little less anti-social every now and then.

oh, and because kc asked what I’m knitting that hasn’t been photographed yet: a skinny Branching Out scarf, a very plain shrug (with the would-be black yarn for Shimmer), and a pair of arm warmers that have since been frogged entirely. sigh. Knitting is hit or miss sometimes!
