I'm still working on George's socks. At least I'm on the second one now. I spent weeks not working on them and then found that the needles had come out while everything was sitting in a bag I kept shoving things into. I finally got all the stitches back the way they were suppose to be (I was in the middle of the gusset decreases) and am now knitting the foot. I said for the past 3 weekends that I would finish this sock over the weekend. This time I think I'll finally be done over the Labor Day Weekend.
I'm still knitting the sock continental (pick) style and my stitches are getting much better. Practice, practice, practice. I mentioned below that I was knitting a scarf continental style. Well, I've decided I hate the stitch pattern I was using and I'm going to rip it out. It's been great practice, but I wouldn't want to wear it.
I got a big shelving unit for my basement studio. I'll try to get some pictures of my basement studio/office up in a day or two. I think I might get another of the same kind of shelving unit as the present one looks good, but I have lots more stuff. We have a very large house for just the two of us, but it's always messy. I think this is mostly because we don't have the right furniture for the storage/display of what we have. I wish we could afford a professional organizer AND the furniture/storage they would suggest for us, but since that would be prohibitively expensive, we'll have to muddle through on our own.
My contract job is probably ending Sept 14th. RealNetworks isn't extending my contract as they're changing their QA focus yet again. I'm ready to move on to another company with a different dynamic. I can say that I've really enjoyed the people I've been working with, but it's not the company/position for me.
I should get home now before George starts worrying. Bye for now.
