I worked 15 hours yesterday. Yes, that's 15 hours on a Friday. Yuck. I got home at 11:30 last night and just went to bed. Yesterday really sucked.
Today, though, today was Saturday. I did get up early. I ran some errands and got some Starbucks. Knitted a little and then met my friend Joanna for lunch and a walk through the local farmers market. I got yummy watermelon and lettuce. I was going to make a salad for dinner, but it turns out, the watermelon made a perfect dinner. :-) We also had a yummy lunch in spite of the fact that we were disappointed because they were out of the Chocolate Sugar cookes. :-(
I knitting news, I began test knitting two pairs of socks for my Sockapalooza 4 pal. The first are jaywalkers in Opal.
I'm kind of liking these and this may be it...
...because these are quite possibly the ugliest socks in the world...
Tropicana pattern not working here. Lots of pooling. It's just not working. This is STR in Watermelon Tourmaline. You think having watermelon for dinner before starting the socks would have been a good omen, but obviously not. So, they will be frogged.

I hate days like you had on Friday. Hopefully next week is better.
Yowza, that STR sock... My friend Jeanne is convinced that there's a magic cast on number for ever type of STR that prevents it from pooling. I'm not sure I believe that...

Wow, that is a seriously ugly sock. Maybe you could change the needle size? Another repeat — more or fewer — would make the sock not fit, probably... boo ugly pooling.

Oh — Cara at JanuaryOne.com had really good success with her watermelon tourmaline STR in a pair of Monkeys. Just for reference.
