August Socks, or Where DOES the time go?

I last posted a week ago? Seems like a few days ago...or a few months ago. Too darned busy these days. But the little bit of knitting I have time for is such a respite!

My "August socks" will not be done this month. They'll be my October socks, with luck. However I do have official August sock contributions for SAM4! Earlier in the month I knit 3 pair of little kids socks for CIC (and a pair in July.) Here's the photo. KnitPicks Wool of the Andes (worsted) and size 5 (i think) dpns.
I still have to pack for my vacation -- leaving dark & early tomorrow and driving straight through. Can't wait to get back to the mountains. These cornfields leave a lot to be desired :-)

I'm taking the Baby Surprise Jacket along, but not setting any goals about finishing it while I'm gone. I'll be staying at my sister's (just 3 miles from my old place) - and I plan to visit my previous workplace on Friday. Fun! I recently discovered, by accident that a former co-worker is on staff with Interweave Press. Now That's exciting!!!

DD1 is going along -- and the ortho surgeon said today -- NO weight on that leg - it's not healed yet! Bad bones due to her life long lactose intolerance. So he's got her on 1500 mg Calcium a day and now 50,000 IU of Vit D twice a week!!!!!!! She can drive though, thank goodness!
