so yesterday we went to look at cars, this is the car we picked out…amy has the protege which is the same car before they changed the name. hers is the 5door though. which is station wagony, it is even bigger than this one, and smaller is better when i am driving it.
i am so so tired. man. i want to reschedule my appts and stay home. i really think i might. man!! tired!! i didn’t get anything but coffee because i wanted to get back into bed.
my one foot has been really hurting me, to the point that i can’t put my weight on it and can’t wear heels. not cool. it feels better today. you don’t really think about your feet, and it can be a really big deal it they malfunction. really big.
i only knitted like 2 rows yesterday, and it is the stupid breast cancer scarf. i want her to let me do them a little more exciting, so people will wear them and buy them. who knows. i may work on something else, although i could just get one done today for her to see and leave it at that.
i unpacked the rest of the yarn yesterday, jake went to knitwits to pick it up. he said that going to the yarn store for your wife is no biggie, also, the ladies there love him, he is so adorable. i am sure a hot man holding a bag full of yarn is sexy to them too. he also said that buying tampons is no biggie. i asked him if picking up herpes medicine would be. he said no. unless i actually had herpes. oops.
did i say i was exhausted? lupus be damned!! lupus responds,”at least your liver works” i respond, “point taken.”
more later. i will post my yarn on flickr.

    I once broke my pinky toe and learned that the pinky is indeed a valuable toe. So I empathize with you 100%.

    Hey! Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you about the legwarmers but here’s the pattern:

    size 7 double pointed needles (set of 4)
    cable needle
    any worsted weight yarn (I used some kinda Lion Brand)
    gauge: 5 sts/7 rows = 1 inch

    CO 60 sts and divide between needles

    Work 2×2 rib for 13 rows

    row 14: K6, P2, K2, P2, K6 (these 6 sts are your cable stitches), P2, K2, P2, K12, P2, K2, P2, K6 (these 6 sts are the other cable stitches), P2, K2, P2, K6

    rows 15-16: repeat row 14

    row 17: K6, P2, K2, P2, C6 (put the first 3 sts on your cable needle and let it hang to the back of your work, K the next 3 sts and then K the 3 on the cable needle), P2, K2, P2, K12, P2, K2, P2, C6 (do the cable again), P2, K2, P2, K6

    rows 18-21: repeat row 14

    keep repeating the last 8 rows (rows 14-21) until the legwarmers are as long as you want them to be. I ended up doing 56 rows of the cable pattern, 69 rows total including the ribbing.

    Bind off in pattern

    Enjoy! Let me know how they turn out or if you have any questions.
