I know that I just finished my second pair of Jaywalkers yesterday, but I really don’t want to lose my momentum. I enjoyed making those socks and the feeling of accomplishment when I finished weaving in the last strand, and I want those feelings again. Plus, I said that I would make socks for Terea and Stephanie, and I want to do that soon. Also, I know that I sometimes find sock knitting tedious and boring, so I think I’ll mix it up and make sure that I actually work on one of my many other UFOs when I need down time from the socks. I just realized that Zeeby’s bag, which I have been working on for no less than two years, is a nice, mindless project that I could easily complete while watching dvds. I have to do the same row over and over again for 11 inches, and there are no decreases to worry about, so why not?

I’ve been having some pain in my left wrist, so I find it difficult to knit more than a couple of rows in any one sitting. I’ve been favoring it and waiting for the pain to go away, but it’s been a while now since I felt this way, so I think I’m going to have to go to a doctor. Bummer!

I’ve finished the heel of my second pair of jaywalkers, and now I’m decreasing them and preparing for six mind-numbing inches of the foot. I keep forgetting to see if I can get my ankle into this pair. If not, I’ll have to find SOMEBODY else to give them to. Too late, I found out that there are a couple of larger, official updates to the pattern, which can be found here. If this pair doesn’t fit me, I guess I’ll go up to the next larger size. I’m going to be in Poughkeepsie this weekend for Christine and Justin’s wedding (yay!), so maybe I can try to get some more done on the socks while I’m traveling to and from.

Also, while looking for something else entirely, I came across a bag that I have been 95% finished with for the past two years. Everything is knitted and felted, and now I just have to sew the darned pieces together. Nevermind the fact that this bag is no longer to my exact taste, I should just be done with it, right? I think I don’t want to finish it.
