almost there!

Yesterday I was seriously stressed about getting my April socks done...okay not really stressed, but almost resigned to the fact that it wouldn't happen! This weekend was great, but ended up with lots of busy things not involving knitting....rearranging furniture to accommodate new furniture, cleaning, shopping, laundry, organizing my shoes (really---DH built some shelves in the closet) Anyway, once the house was together very little knitting time remained. I did make the heel.
Heel flap:

Turning the heel:

So my mom is serious about learning to knit socks (she's diving right in....no first project scarf here!) So I wanted to detail a little more about the heel for her! (I can't wait to be home and get you started mom!) Grandma has her going well on the basics! YEAH! Thanks Grandma! Can you tell I'm excited?
So that was all this weekend....then yesterday my needles just flew! I'm not sure why the foot is going so fast but yesterday I got over 3 repeats done (and made dinner, cleaned the bathroom, picked up, did dishes, and did my school work) Not sure where the energy came from either, but....now I have 1 repeat and the toe to do! Woohoo! That is totally doable, even with dinner with my advisor's advisor tonight and church tomorrow night! So I think the April socks will squeak in. (I'm starting my May socks early....I don't like this rush...I'm not sure how people function at Christmas when they are trying to finish a dozen projects at once)
Oh and last week I got a pic of the albino squirrel that lives on campus (I mentioned seeing him here). So very weird!
