Got some sock work done

I got some work done on my sock. It was just hard to concentrate yesterday...on anything. Fortunately it was my daughter's day off so all I had to remember to do was breath--which can sometimes be hard when one has so much stuffing in the head.

We moved into this townhouse in September. They installed new carpeting before we moved in. I don't know if you've ever been that lucky, but new carpeting sheds worse than any fifteen dogs! Our vacuum cleaner is a glorified DustBuster and the filter had to be cleaned every square yard or so of vacuuming. Needless to say, it was time consuming and not very productive. My daughter does home health care. Her weekend client's mom just bought a new vacuum. She sold the Oreck XL Classic to my daughter for $40. And boy, does it vacuum! The carpet looks so nice! The plan is to take it upstairs today and work on that carpeting! Isn't it amazing the things that will "make your day"?

I asked on one of the knitting boards if someone would weight a child's sock so I'd get an idea of how much yarn I'd need to make socks for one of my grand daughters out of the left over Tofutsies. (I really didn't want to go toe up no that slippery stuff!) As it turns out, I can make another pair of adult short socks! Knitters are knice people!
