Rest in Peace
This was 9" of my Rosedale United body. I was ripping back tonight to fix a mistake I noticed in the Intarsia when I decided I should try it on. It was about 10" to big! I checked my guage, and it is very different from my swatch. I haven't had the heart to rip the sleeves yet.
I haven't made much progress with the other red sock except to cast on and finish the short row toe. I did purchase some yarn for my Sockapaloooza pal however. Jaeger Matchmaker DK . . .I hope to adapt a pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks.
I'm not sure if I've bought enough yarn, as I've never knit socks with DK yarn and my sockpal has larger feet than me, but I'm hoping it will work out, otherwise this will be a test pair for me.
I also purchased some yarn for a vest for me .. .I've never worn a vest but I've been craving one. It's simple Lambs Pride Worsted in a pretty grey.
I haven't picked a pattern for this yet, and I may just wing it.
On other news, I've been really run down lately and hard to motivate so I made an appointment for a physical hoping that will help. I haven't weighed myself in a while so I don't know where I am on that front -- I don't think I've lost more.
Work has been a little stressful, but the environment I'm in at this job makes that more bearable. Happy Knitting to all you Olympians out there. Have a cup of joe on me.

oh no! at least you caught the gauge difference before you were 10" into it, i suppose!

Oh my...10" is a lot, and when you've put so much work into losing weight, the last thing you want to knit is a big sack sweater!
Getting a physical seems like a very good idea - and maybe, if you have the opportunity, you could take a R&R day! :)

Hi! re: your comment on my site, I would definitely knit the Fibertrends over the Fuzzy Feet, esp if a BF was involved.
:-)
The soles are thicker and, with the Mauch Chunky, they felt in a more conisistent manner.
Good luck!
