I Give Up...

on SM2. There are already 17/20 people finished in my division, and I'm not even to the heel on sock #1. Plus I have to work 3 12.5 hour shifts this weekend. It just isn't going to happen and I'm not going to kill myself trying to do it. The pattern this round is turning out very nice, I just don't have a desire to knit on socks right now. I'll tag along on the coming patterns though... and maybe do a little more cheering from the sidelines since I won't be competing too!

I have a couple projects OTN for my coffee swap pal, since I'm not in the mood for socks. Can't tell you what they are quite yet, though I'll be sure to take pictures so I can post about it later! (On the otherhand, since there's only one package in the swap I suppose it doesn't really matter if I blog about it. It's not like they'll go searching through blogs later to find the pictures in order to figure out who I am. By the time they see the items they'll already know!) I love swaps though. I haven't participated in many, but I always love trying to find little unique things that my pal will really enjoy. I found something quite unique already... I hope she'll like it!

Work is kind of sucking right now. I switched to a new (to both me and the company) shift a couple months ago. I still haven't quite resolved how to most effectively use my time, nor how best to communicate with coworkers on other shifts so that I can get my work done. These long weekends aren't much help. Here's to the weekend going REALLY fast...

Happy Knitting
