Two sleeves and a hem!

Now, two sleeves and a hem! (and one row of colorwork.) Other knitters who have blogged about this pattern have reported the bottom hem to be quite tedious. Although I didn’t think that it was too terribly awful, I am glad that it’s done. Now, onward and upward.

I talked about my Anntrelac socks in my last post. Since then, I’ve discovered that I somehow have nine little tilting blocks in each row, instead of the eight called for in the pattern. I tried the now 3″ long sock cuff on, however, and decided to leave it as it is, because it fits me quite nicely. I’ve done enough top-down socks to depart from the pattern, anyway. The challenge, of course, will be to replicate my mistake on the second sock. I might start that sock sooner rather than later, just in case I can’t make it come out the same way and need to frog the cuff I already have.

In other news, for interested friends, family, and random Internet strangers who have all been following my health: I’ve only had 2 migraines in the last 30 days! I’m also not having nearly so much daily pain. The new preventative meds from the neurologist seem to be working pretty well. My husband and I actually went to a movie last night! We had to miss quite a few movies that we wanted to see last year (the sound made my head hurt worse; I’ve also missed quite a bit of church for the same reason) so this is a Big Deal. Everyone please keep your fingers crossed that this continues to work so well.
