I really like the Duets with a solid cuff! I’ll have to knit mine up that way, too.

Remind me….what colourway is that Fiesta? Congratulations on all the finishing. Doesn’t it feel great?

I get up at 5:45 a.m. so I can knit and listen to some knitting podcasts for about an hour and a half before I get my day started. I really look forward to this time and don’t even mind getting up early. My mood gets very grumpy if I miss my morning knitting session!

Very nice! Love the Wollmeise ones. I hope the sneak happens a day I can get to it – some month anyway. LOL

i specifically bought a purse this spring because it was completely divided down the middle with a zippered pouch in between the two halves– i always have a sock in one side and the rest of my junk in the other. it’s amazing how much more patient i am with those, “i’ll be back in one moment” doctors and phrases like, “can you please hold?” when i have a sock within arms reach.

Oh Marianne, I do hope your injury heals quickly. In the meantime my prescription is…knit a lot! At least it will take your mind off your troubles! Best wishes…

Beautiful socks Sheri – Way to go!! I think everyone has about covered ways to make more time for knitting…Being an avid baseball fan, I always knit while watching the Astros play on TV which is several hours in the evenings. I have truly thought about knitting in the bathtub and have even tried in the pool on a float. I just put all my yarn in a big bowl and keep my hands and the part I have already knitted over said bowl to keep it dry. I am sure it would work in the tub as well, but I am usually too sleepy to knit by the time bath time comes! The big thing is that I just have to MAKE time to knit, even if it is just a few rounds at a time. Since I work at the computer all day, I take 15 minute knitting breaks from my work…can’t be having a repetitive stress injury from all the typing I do!! HAHA!! Waiting with major anticipation for this week’s sneak-up!

I’m with you, Sheri, on loving the mountains, in the summer time. I’m glad you had a great trip. Congratulations on all of your beautiful finished pairs of socks!

As for more knitting time, other than take it with you when you leave the house, I don’t have a good answer.

For now, I’m trying to figure out how to knit again. I fell hard, a freak fall, at the end of our trip UP north about a week ago. I ended up breaking my back (L-1 vertebrae), a nasty break. After 5 nights in the hospital, I’m now in a turtle-like hard shell brace. Sitting up is excruciating. I’m trying to figure out a way to prop myself up (from a flat position) a few inches, so that I can knit. Do you all have any ideas? In the meantime, needless to say, my style is badly cramped! (Dr Jackie, I thought of you when I spent many hours in the ER on 4th of July.)
