Arrived at the hospital around 10:45 this morning. Tom had his backside surgery today, right in the middle of his vacation of all things. I sat in the second floor surgery waiting area and was able to turn the heel on the sock that I'm working on. Francie and Maria found me and we caught up on news. The hospital had a string trio play in the atrium during the lunch hour. It was very serene for a hospital setting. Tom's surgery went well according to the doctor. He should be up and about in the next few days.
I ordered the yarn for a baby sweater that I plan on making for Christine's baby girl. Gianna isn't here yet and the sweater is a toddler 2 but I think that the work involved is better spent on that size than a 6 month old. I found a great pattern on knitty. the pattern is called Tigger 
and looks like it will be fun to knit as well as quick. Well, I do have 2 years. I ordered the yarn , Skacel Luxor and Berrocco Zen Colors from 2 different sources in the same color that the designer used. I'm not feeling very adventurous yet. 
I will post progress as the sweater grows.
My 6 sock progress photo was posted today. This is my first attempt at a knit along. I just hope that I can keep up with the group. I don't really wear socks and I hav
e yet to find a sock yarn that I love. I do love to knit them though. Socks are quick, cheap and portable. Maybe the "yarn of my dreams " will appear...someday.
