I am still knitting! but slowly. This is the second of a pair of Gladys socks, started -- to my astonishment and dismay -- when I was staying with my mom in July. I really like the pattern, and the yarn, and the pattern and the yarn together, but somehow I haven't managed to find the time to do much with them -- and so, noticing that my slow increments are not at all unlike the growth rings of a tree, I started putting in safety pins at the beginning of each section of knitting.
-- First, just above the rig-and-furrow, during Julia's audition for the Rose Parade Honor Band (she made it!).
-- Then during her clarinet lesson a few days later.
-- Then some weeks later in the waiting room while Laura had her wisdom teeth out. Only 45 minutes! Great for her, not so much for knitting! Hard to believe that I managed to work more rounds during a clarinet lesson than during a wisdom-teeth extraction.
-- Then on the next day, two hours or so of watching "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" last night with David. I hadn't seen it before!
But now I'm ready to start the heel at last ...
Growth rings! Thanks for the morning smile!

I like the analogy! I have three new balls of wool for socks but I cannot work up the energy to make one of them. Perhaps I should do more work on the sweater I started about ten years ago, instead?
I hope Laura is pain free?
