The Part with the Pointy Bits

You know the kind of days where you blink and the next thing you know everything is topsy turvy.  Where things seem to be going along relatively smoothly until Wham! the unexpected strikes.  Twice, in fact.  Well, that's been our house as of last night. 

It started with vandalism and ended with a major appliance failure.  A new rear passenger window is being installed.  And tonight...refrigerator shopping.  Bah! Humbug!

I started this knitting project shortly before all the mayhem.  My very first attempt at knitting a sock.  With four poky needles--eight pointy bits--it may get interesting.  So far, if you don't look too closely, I'm doing fairly well.  It forces me to concentrate on something other than fridge dimensions and cubic feet sizes.  All I have to worry about is keeping all the stitches on the needles.  Not easy when you're envisioning just what you'd like to do with those needles if you ever got your hands on the hoodlum who smashed the window and ran.
