Socks started and then...

Well I started on Karen's socks and quickly discovered that it just wasn't going to work. Now the question is, why? The math works out. Definitely have enough of the absolutely gorgeous yarn. The problem is the pattern, that I designed for the sock in combination with the variegated yarn. I should be counting the stitches which would eliminate the problem entirely. Am I going to count my way through 2 socks? Nope. Socks are supposed to be fun and interesting. Not a test of patience like the socks from hell. So! I've revamped the design pattern and with luck will have the first sock completed by Sunday. That would be so cool!
A day late, but this is the snow we got yesterday.
Caused all kinds of havoc but didn't stop school or cause a late start today. Very pretty, but it is now melting off in preparation for the next storm that will be moving into the area on Monday! Sorry Karen.
David took Olivia into the Dr. today since I had homemade Chicken soup to make and I've been up since 2:30, a.m. that is. She is sick with the same stuff the rest had over a week ago. Soooooo..... we're on a loop that is going to have everyone getting sick again. Margot is just so great! She immediately gave David a prescription for antibiotics for ALL of us. Yes, we're all taking the meds. We've got to stop this stuff in its tracks. uggg...
Well I've taken most of the day to get this short post out. Its 8:15 p.m., I'm tired and can barely keep my eyes open. Happy dreams...
