Once again a boring weekend in northern Michigan. Nothin' but knitting and Kuntaw with a little Grandma thrown in on the side. I thankfully live in a football free zone. Neither Bill or anyone in his family watch professional sports. Thank God.
I ripped out the Regia socks I started well before Christmas. Shh. I started them with a size 2 and switched to size one without ripping because I didn't like the gauge. I finally decided that it looked like crap like that and ripped 'em. I was also doing them two at a time on two circs. I like two circs. I hate two at a time. I like socks to be something I can just pick up and knit without much thinking on my part...good for when I just have a minute or two. With the two at a time I had to spend a few minutes untangling them and then figure out where I needed to start. I'll stick with one at a time, thanks. I started the socks over again Sunday night and also managed a few rows on Bill's sweater.
Sunday Bill and his brother put together a computer desk for their grandma and I felted Christmas present slippers. We had a nice time, but then Bill and I had to go feed and water the animals.
It's very cold up here. It's been for going on three weeks now, but this morning was the topper. -18F. I heard a funny joke Saturday about the stages of cold.
* Huh, a little chilly out
* Brr, a bit nippy today
* Jeeze, it's cold!
and finally
* F****ck!
