I'm going to say for the record that I now dig riding the bus to work. Yes it stops and starts. Alot. The bus is also subject to the whims of traffic. Yesterday involved a 25 standstill even before the helix for the Lincoln Tunnel. Today was clear sailing until halfway through the Tunnel. There was a backup at the Port Atrocity which had the buses stalled again. The bus can also make me a touch queasy and I don't exactly dig that feeling. Why then, you might ask, do I now dig riding the bus to work. I'll show you.
The first Opal Rainforest sock in Flamingo as of the end of this mornings commute. I had O.N.E. solid hour of knitting this morning on that glorious bus. I even had the front row passenger side seat for the last three rides. Makes a huge difference in the queasy feeling at the end of the ride. Remember I started this sock Sunday night, spent almost no time on it, just established the ribbing on the cuff and stashed it in my bag for the Monday commute. I had the heel turned and the stitches picked up for the gusset by the end of the ride last night. With my rather small feet, 6.5" to the beginning of decreases for the toes, I should have this sucker done in no time. I could get used to this kind of knitting time.
Well the dude I was waiting on finally got back to me with the answer I needed so I can now get to serious work on my project. Took him long enough, I asked him for input last Wednesday. I sent a friendly reminder yesterday morning. Ugh. Gotta go code.
Craft on!
Great sock and great knitting time! You definitely sound as though you feel better!
