Well, since I'm still dating CB, we've proven that knitting socks for your boyfriend doesn't cause you to break up. But does knitting socks for an ex-boyfriend get you back together? We'll put that one to the test, too.
A while back an ex-boyfriend of mine asked me to knit him some socks. I told him if he bought the yarn I would knit them for free, but only if I got to knit them on my own schedule. The main reason I hate knitting for other people is that I have to knit on their deadline. Needless to say it took me a while to get them done, but here they are.
So you wanna know what happened? Absolutely nothing. :) Socks apparently have no effect on boyfriends at all whatsoever, ex or current. Well, that's not entirely true. Both of them want more socks. Go figure!
So just how addicted to knitting are you? Where will you knit? Me? I knit in most every place I go. This includes church. Now my church is very laid back when it comes to the service. Even the pastor wears jeans. We have tea and coffee that we can drink during the service. The praise and worship is a rock band complete with light show, so it's not like I'm knitting in a cathedral during a formal Catholic mass. Well, CB thinks I may have taken it too far this weekend. Here's what I was knitting.
I'm making Sassy Stripes from Magknits. I'm using six different colors of Rowan Cotton Glace. You change colors every two rows in this pattern, and instead of cutting it every time you just carry it along the side. A beer box is the perfect thing to keep the yarn straight. I put one ball in each of the sections. It's great!
No one said anything, or even looked at me funny that I noticed. It's a fun little summer knit. I think I'm really going to enjoy it!
