Life - Part II
It’s been nearly a week since my last post. Life is still not cool, but it’s time to stop feeling sorry for myself and move on. Details are private and will remain so.
I haven’t touched a stitch since Monday and though I’m hoping to start again tomorrow, I’m beginning to feel that I’ll probably put the Feather and Fan shawl aside for a while and work on something that requires a bit less concentration.
I’ve joined a group working on making handmade socks for our folks in the mideast - SocksForSoldiers - and while I don’t look forward to size 10 socks in black yarn, it’s mostly nice and mindless. I have the black yarn and the new KnitPicks circulars. We’ll see… I just need to get started again.

Best to you, Jerry, and hopes that life chills out.
How are you liking the KnitPicks circs? There’s been quite a bit of buzz about them in the blogosphere, but I’m not sure I’m ready to abandon my trusty Inox grays.

Sorry to read that life is not treating you too kindly right now, whatever is amiss I hope it improves as quickly as possible.
Very glad to hear that Oliver came through his accident pretty much unscathed, lucky cat!

I hope that things feel better to you soon. I’m not entirely certain that big socks in black yarn will improve your stress level, but then again doing something positive for someone else is always a good way to soothe your own spirit.

Thinking of you and just wishing you well. Good idea to start a new project for a bit, too.

SOCK IT TO ‘EM … Life’s problems (they can really pile up sometimes) and Socks for Soldiers (I find it helps to reach out to someone else when I’m feeling down). Thanks for posting the link. I’m looking forward to knitting socks for someone over there. Sending good thoughts your way. R

Thanks for everyone’s thought..
I’m not going to dwell on this anymore. It’s mostly out of my control now and I need to start getting on.
BBS (Big Black Sock) started this morning. Photos and more later this evening.
