Once again I am in master piddler mode. If you aren’t a long time blog reader there is a difference between piddle and tinkle thank you very much~ been there already. Save the comments. And yes I know they share the same offensive second meaning but I use the first for the first definition and the second for the second definition. Convenient no?

Anyway I am in master piddler mode again. I received my new needle bonanza and immediately cast on for a pair of Michelle’s Marvelous Socks. I have decided I am going to change her pattern a teeny bit. The whole heel setup row boggles my brain. Really when you CO for a circular piece isn’t it up to you where the tail is? It could already be the back for all anybody knows so the whole moving marker over 20 sts makes no sense to me. I have been knitting the pattern as written but don’t get that particular bit so decided that I will knit first 20 sts, work next 40 sts in pattern[making last p1 into a k], knit last 20 sts and follow new pattern above for additional 9 rows. On 9th row, after working center 40 sts, slip them onto a string and then knit 19 sts from first needle onto 4th needle and work with 2 needles for short row heel. Too late for this particular pair of socks but I remember thinking that while I was knitting them last time and debating it before I got to set up row. I still don’t get it so I’m rudely changing the sockity pattern.

The flower shop is therefore close to closing. Socks have replaced flowers. I certainly didn’t have to think about the flowers erm except for weaving in the tails while knitting when joining the petals. I only have 2 left to do and I was chastising myself for adding another WIP to the already obscene list:
Tea Time shawl
Top down ala Walker
Field of Flowers
Donegal
Rogue
Flowers[3 down 2 to go]
Socks

I have the sneaking suspicion there are more tucked away somewhere but I don’t know why~ I really am not one to have more than a single WIP at a time. Somewhere along the line my self control has disappeared. I actually find my whole life rather jingle jangles[puh~ lease don’t tell me that is a code for something ala the piddle fiasco of a few months ago] lately. Lately being the last two years or so. Oh so last night I worked on socks, flowers[weaving in ends and starting the fourth], Tea Time, and Field of Flowers. Somebody please pray that I can stay focused long enough to finish one of these and therefore have a picture to show you by end of week.

Til then~ yarny days and knitterly evening

OH OH OH I have a major girl crush on this gal. She seems rather shy and I haven’t noticed her name at end of posts or in about me section yet. I am pretty sure I went through the entire archives and being major spazzy lately 2 effing years OK OK OK she probably tells us in the first post and I missed it. Anyway she is way beyond kewl. And I want the magazine with scarf pattern she mentions. Elle ideas or somesuch. Not in my local yarn shops or book purveyers. Yes I could figure it out two row lace pattern duh can’t remember name but I am losing my mind 2 yearssssssssssss and don’t want to think. Hello!
