Fancy Feet

I suppose it's silly to ask where the weekend went when I slept past noon both days, huh? ;) The long weekend is coming up none too soon.

The pinkeye is much better. It's still occasionally uncomfortable, but otherwise fine. I'm terrible at putting in eyedrops--they tell you to hold out your lower eyelid and put drops in the pouch. The best I can do is hold the dropper over my mostly-closed eyes and blink the drops in. This is very inefficient and also makes the drops go all over my face. I have to remind myself a few times a day that I haven't been crying!

So here are the sockies! First the long-in-the-making Biteberry socks.

They get the stamp of kitty approval.

And now the speedy Dad socks. I'm making them cuff-down because I'm not worried about running out of yarn (they can have red extra-long toes if need be) and I can gave them mostly finished for Dad to try on, then finish them to the right side. All this progress was made during 4 episodes of Weeds, 2 of Firefly, and 2 of MI-5 (my latest obsession... Oh, Matthew Macfayden is so much better in this than in Pride & Prejudice...). OK, so that's actually a lot of knitting time, but who's counting?

The Biteberries turned out great!!! Hopefully it wasn't TOO annoying to knit them.

D'oh - I just managed to delete your Ravelry comment instead of replying to it. Thanks! It was a nice fast knit.

Yay for the biteberry socks!!!

On the eyedrops: when you have to give yourself steroid drops once an hour every hour for several days in a row, you perfect the technique... ;)

The biteberry socks are so cute.
