No drive.

That's how I feel. Like I am a bit unsure about what I may want to be knitting. Nothing feeling exactly right in my hands. But that hasn't stopped me from trying. I have a few FO's-

These are a cute little pair of Saartje's Bootees. They are in the mail to a friend as we speak. They weren't alone-

There was one more pair that I gifted already. These are so fun! I have been using leftover sock yarn. I love it when I can make something out of nothing! I have a few more planned, including some in sportweight on bigger needles.

Another FO? Yep!

Another pair of Jaywalkers! These are mindless knitting now. And the first Christmas gift done! These were toe-up with Wendy's toe-up gusset heel. These popped off the needles as my on the go knit. Wait in line- knit a row, wait for the boys- knit a row, take the boys to park- knit a row! Love that!

Otherwise, I seem to have started a whole bunch of stuff!

These are Kaibashira with Chicago Bears dyed yarn from ShelbyB. I made a special request for this yarn and I love it! The pattern is fiddly. The beginning sucked, casting on 187 stitches! But it is looking ok.

A chevron scarf from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. I love how this is looking! I am using STR in Azurite (not on the ste right now) and Koigu that my Mom got for me. This will look great with my winter coat, if I ever get it done! More mindless knitting.

This is RPM in Online supersocke Summer color. And Juliet in my own handdyed yarn. RPM is another christmas gift, so that feels good to be doing. Juliet was an impulse. I am not sure about it yet. But I will hold off my judgement until the end.

I think that is all that is on the needles for now. See- I am kind of floating around, not sure what I want to do.

In other news, I need to ask all whole will to cross their crossables for me. I have applied for a few jobs. Considering I haven't worked in this century, I am nervous. I have already turned one down. Not right. There is another one that I have already had a second interview for- I want that one! I hope to hear this week. And as I was writing this post, I got a call for an interview for another job. I guess I am getting the urge to do something for me. The Boys are in school a little. This would be part time. And my god- these boys can eat!!! And they are only 3 & 5! I am scared what my grocery bill will become, so I figure I better get out there now and start trying to earn a little cash. And maybe have a little cash leftover for yarn!!!

Beautiful knits both on the needles and off! Love those babie booties, so cute and what a great way to use leftover sock yarn.

Oooh, pretty! On all counts! I love the booties, they're precious! And I like how the Bears yarn looks knit up. Always so hard to tell!

Wow, lots of stuff going on here - both in knitting and in life. Love the booties, and the Jaywalkers. And happy 5th bday (belated) to Big Boy! I had preeclampsia, too - no fun.

Got all my crossables crossed for you!
