Because of the cold and the additional snow we got on Friday, we spent much of the weekend inside, but Molly and I did venture out to the tattoo studio to get her earrings changed for the first time. We had to wait a little, and now I can say that this was probably the oddest place I've turned a heel (tattoos may be no big deal for some of you, but they're looked down upon in Judaism, so no one in my family has one).
I spent almost all my free time working on that second sock over the weekend in an effort to finish it in time to qualify for the Pigskin Party, and because I got this post ready ahead of time, I can't say yet whether I was successful. I can, however, tell you that as of the end of Ruthie's nap on Sunday, I had about 24 rounds of foot plus a toe remaining, so chances were pretty good.
Here's your obligatory sleeping puppy photo, just so you can get a sense of the scene on Sunday afternoon:
The Mister left early this morning for a quick work trip, so I'm on double school run duty for a few days. But Molly also has a four-day weekend coming up (thanks to the end of the trimester), and that almost feels like a break for me, too. Assuming I have successfully finished the socks, this week will be about casting on some new projects!
I will be back on Wednesday with a finished pair of socks for sure, plus some new projects and an update on my reading.
We are supposed to warm up a bit this week as well. Thank God! Our "feel like" temps have been hovering around -15!
ReplyDeleteLooking for a thaw here, too. Let the freeze-thaw daily race begin. (And watch your step when you're outside.) XO
ReplyDeleteAww, Ruthie! She is just so cute! It will be interesting to see how warm we get (the snow cover we have might impact the warming temps a bit... and I am not looking forward to melt-freeze season... lol) I am excited to see these bright cheery socks on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteA sleeping Ruthie is a beautiful thing. Good wishes for the sock.
ReplyDeleteRuthie calmed down after her ramped up morning, just like you thought. Happy to hear the thaw is coming. I'm hoping for snow this weekend! Fingerscrossed!
ReplyDeleteA tattoo shop definitely wins for strangest place to turn a heel. Both of my boys have tattoos and I went along for both of them because I was curious. I'd love to get one myself someday. I have the design all picked out, but I'm not sure where I want it. Enjoy the warmer week and I hope you got your sock done!
ReplyDeleteThis cold snap has been going on for far too long and I am ready for a break from it! That's an adorable photo of Ruthie.
