Yesterday afternoon I had a grand plan. I was going to do the whole heel flap on the second Retro Rib sock during the commute home. I started it on the way into work, and so should be able to get it done lickety-split. Then, during the Yankees-Red Sox game, I would do the short-row heel on Hubby's new sock. The productivity was going to be fierce. Upon reaching my seat on the train for the trip home, I noticed that I'd done the morning piece of the heel flap on 32 stitches instead of 30. Trying to control the sobbing, I ripped it back... and then took a nap. So last night's progress was only finishing one heel. And watching the Yankees get slapped around by the Sox. It wasn't a good night. Henceforth, I wasn't up to taking pictures, but will try tonight.
After Hubby got home, I made mini sidecars with Cognac (instead of plain brandy). That helped to end the evening on a more positive note.
It's also Spring Cleaning time, and I'm finally getting rid of some yarn that I would probably never ever use. I don't think that I included this as part of my stash during Flash Your Stash day, because I was so ashamed by it! I accumulated most of it from my early knitting days, when I thought that yarn was hard to come by, so buying huge skeins of Red Heart seemed like a great idea. It's time to go. The Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services happily agreed to take it off my hands (and I confessed that a bunch of it was acrylic), so I'm hoping that I can drop it off this week. They are conveniently located near my office! Even better.
