sinus and trekking

I have a sinus infection now also - never know if it is a virus or just allergies -either way the pain is intense

And let me say that a sinus infection can actually split a perfectly healthy tooth in two. Don't ask how I know, but I have the xrays to prove it - taken only 3 days apart.

A while ago I knit a trekking sock - it had a lot of red n green, took forever, n I really thought I'd never knit its mate.

But I did. I just wanted that bright red to hit in the same spot on the leg.I started with a provisional cast on and plain knit. after a couple inches, I figured out where on the leg that bright red color hit. Then I added yarn to the provisional cast on and knit up the leg to the right length, and cast off. I continued knitting on down, but of course the colors weren't the same at all.

As I continued, a bright red stripe developed about an inch sooner. Each time I looked at the sox, I felt as though I'd tilt to one side when I wore them. It looked as though one of them had shrunk. But I kept knitting - stubborn, what can I say? It took FOREVER...

Now they are both done, and I LOVE them. I don't really know why, but the toe has a lot of dark colors, and a hint of a turquiose that is gorgeous.

So in a fit of I-don't-know-what, I bought another ball of trekking. "Now look here," I said, "I have lots of things I need to finish. I can't start another sock right now!" But it kept calling out to me. When I took off work Thursday because I had no voice and couldn't stop coughing, I started knitting. I already have one done and am doing the heel on the second. pictures soon.
