Flowing

So it turns out that the general ickiness I was feeling last week turned around and bit me.  Throughout the week, this one spot on my side/back had been hurting, and by yesterday morning, I was in a fair amount of pain.  I finally made it to the doctor, who determined I most likely have a kidney infection.  It's weird, though, because I didn't really have most of the symptoms you'd normally associate with a UTI.  Nevertheless, after a couple of doses of antibiotics and some ibuprofen, I do seem to be feeling a bit better. If it's not a lot better by tomorrow, the doctor may send me for a CT scan to rule out a kidney stone.  Here's hoping it's just an infection and the Cipro clears it right up.

Meanwhile, the Go With The Flow Socks are flowing (har har -- I crack me up).

And I've decided to send the blue Trekking socks to the UFO basket to think about what they've put me through.  I suspect I'm going to end up frogging them and starting again.  I just really don't like having two things that are supposed to "match" be that different.

Having been feeling rather blech this week, though, I needed some non-patterned, simple stockinette socks to work on, so I cast on these:

with this Seacoast Handpainted 100% Merino Superwash sock yarn.  The label claims the color is "thistle," but on my monitor, it looks more like "bee balm."

Sometimes, you just need a super gorgeous, super soft, super easy stockinette sock to knit.  Know-what-I-mean?
