Here is the stripy sock.  It's probably going to be stuck at this level for a wile since I have commission knitting.  The problem is that my only US size 2 is now stuck in the project.  I finished the orange socks.  I'll wash them with the blue socks and take a picture of them later.  I finished my nephew's hat.  I don't have a picture of that but later on this week I'll show you an "in progress" picture.  I do feel bad that I have so much left over but I think I will use that for a scarf to match the hat. It means I'll have a bunch of the other colors left too.  It took me about ten hours.  I'm a little disappointed because I was sure it would take me something more like three.  The decision now is if I should work on the next hat or the Totoro.  Joeli of Joeli's Kitchen is having a monster knit/crochet along.

I just listened to most of my podcasts yesterday.  I didn't get them all taken care of but over half.  Amy Beth (The Fat Squirrel Speaks) was funny as usual.  She had a terrible bug incident with her yarn.  If you aren't bothered by bugs you should listen to it.  She know how to tell a funny story.  When Joeli said she was having a knit along I asked if she meant crochet too.  I figured she did but I wanted to be specific.  I feel bad because she is so careful to say crochet now and I feel like she is afraid to be accused of being knitting biased. I din't mean to make her feel bad I was just trying to be clear.  If I have a chance I'll catch up on the rest of the podcasts today and tomorrow.

Today was so busy.  We were gone from 8:30 am till about 3 pm and then at 5:30 I had to go pick my husband up from work.  We got the rest of the school supplies (including the cleaning supplies), hair cuts for the kids, eye appointments for the kids, lunch, found a messenger bag for Amey for school ( those are harder to find than you would think), and went to the yarn store so I could get some dpns.  I'm tired now so I'm not sure I'll get much more done today. I'm not trying to complain or sound ungrateful, I'm just done for the day.  I think I'm going to go watch TV and knit so I'll see you next time.  Have a good day.
