The first time, the last time

I waited in line for an Iphone yesterday. Didn’t get one, because the store only had 20 and sold a bunch just to one family (little kids and all). So no more of that sort of thing for me. I don’t need to be in the cattle line for something I’m paying for. They can come and get me.

While I waited in line, I worked on a sock. Got a lot done, too. And had a few questions asked of me. One was a yound guy asking to borrow a needle so he could poke the man with the Iphone who was sitting on the ground outside of the store activating it on his laptop. Show off. If I wasn’t sure the act would break the needle, I would have lent it to him.

The waiting-in-line sock was the second one in tiger-stripe yarn by some yarn company whose name escapes me. It really is pretty cool. I’m using a toe-up design and have very little ribbing because I didn’t want to break up the stripes. The first one fit well even without the ribbing, so I am happy.

On the lace knitting front, I am working on an Orenburg shawl. Already found one little pattern error that was easily fixed. It still kinkd of ticks me off. Oh well, I should know that with publishing comes mistakes. Who knows what typos this blog has? (Just fixed one, as a matter of fact!)
