First Heel Done-Whew!




Took two tries and a fix at the end, but I managed to get my first ever wrap and turn heel done. The first time I had way too many stitches left on one side, the second time I was only off by one so I foo foo'd it. Don't think it's noticable. Then I started knitting the first few rows of the sock in the round and realized I had holes at the heels. Frogged it back to that point and then did what was suggested in the first row and grabbed a row from the heel, which eliminated the hole problem.

Started working yesterday at my boys school and haven't managed to get much knitting done on my breaks. Only have a half hour lunch and when I have to choose between getting my stomach to stop growling or getting some knitting done, the tummy over-rides. Thought I'd knit during one of my breaks, but ended up spending time in either of the boys classes, instead.


The boys both went to see the Jimbali Acrobats as field trips with school and seem to think they can replicate what they watched. No tears just yet, but expecting them any minute. My red dog, Arlo, couldn't resist licking dinner reminants of my younger son's face while they were attempting a move. Guess he won't need a bath tonight. Yuck!

Aren't boys great! My kids loved the acrobats too - heard they were awesome! I always bring my knitting to school thinking I'll knit at lunch - yeah right. Hope you're liking your new job - I'm sure the boys love having you there!
