Sock it To Me..

Well.. over the weekend we spent at my dads.. I did it... I finished my first sock... It's quite cute.. and actually fits me.. (Well except one part.. but.. well.. we'll get to that later..



I'm quite proud of myself... but I still think that turning the heel was the best part... I love it.. I wish I could just make heels all day long.. lol.

So the one downside is that the top of the cuff seems to stretch out way too far when I put it on my foot.. so it ends up being like 1/2 an inch too big... kindof a bummer.. but I've been talking to the ladies over at KR about it and I should be well prepared for my next pair of socks.. (Which, if the yarn holds out.. might be VERY soon.)

I'm nearly done with sock number two... and I've discovered the joy of knitting at work.. (I recently got hired on as a fill-in receptionist..) Getting paid to knit is the best I think.. and my boss saw me knitting and he said "Are you making me socks?!" and I said "No.. I'm making me socks.. but if I'm good enough at it I *could* make you socks".. He thought that was pretty funny.. then he looked at my finished sock and said it looked good.. What a great boss huh?

News on the Box front.. I've completed the painting.. and I'm concidering moving the box out of the kitchen tomarrow... I'm concerned though because the paint is ever so slightly tacky.. and this worries me because I put the last coat on it early Friday.. and it is now Wednesday... The can did say that it takes 7 days to become washable.. but I'm not sure the tackyness will go away.. I hope it'll be ok...

It didn't come out solid dark blue.. but more of a slightly streaky dark blue/royal blue mix... I decided I really like the look though so I'm keeping it.. (If I did more coats I'm confident that it would end up solid dark blue.. but after 3 I decided to give up. lol.)

If the tackyness isn't gone by next week I think I'll ask the Home Depot paint people what the deal is.. cause that's just not good. I don't want my box to stick shut or anything crazy like that.

So.. Possibly box pictures tomarrow... we shall see... But for now.. I'm a tired Kim.
