Jo Knits!

On the road again,.

What better way to relax! My own handmade socks in my own handmade clogs! Pure relaxation I tell you. I wore my socks to work yesterday and they made my evening, I was so proud to wear them, I have to knit myself a few more. I was comfy, I was happy and we finished early so all is good. :) I haven't look into sock patterns yet, I mostly prefer the basic stockinette sock pattern but they are some what boring to knit, I think they still show off nicely printed yarns to best though. Carl has requested some clogs of his own, luckily I have just enough wool left to knit him some in the same color as mine, well, that by ripping out the hat I had started though. LOL! Also I'm knitting the same size I did my own pair so I already know the numbers to work with.

Here's a picture to show off the heel from the toe up pattern I used to knit the socks. I will up the stitches count next time I knit socks though, you can see on top of the foot that the stitches are all stretched out. I could add ribbing also, we'll see how I feel once I start them. :) I may cast on today and knit up the toe part on both socks so that tomorrow I can do some mindless knitting once we ride for 2 hours in a truck. I'm packing my cd player, needles & yarn, a book and hope that time will fly by quickly.

As we leave tomorrow for the Ottawa area, I am quite nervous. The last Walmart we have inventoried was back in june, this year I am working another position in the stores. I always get queasy/nauseous/nervous before we work. On top of that I get motion sickness so when you have to get in a truck for an hour before getting to the store I take some Gravol, this causes one to be sleepy. Can you see how hard it is for me to smile at work at 7am every morning? Still I try my best! ;)

hugs, have a great week, we are coming back thursday night.
