To all of the haters, I mean doubters….
Ha!! See? I’m really doing it. I know it doesn’t look like much but I think it’s been almost 2 months since I even knit at all. I’m loving how this Wollmeise is knitting up. It’s pooling a bit more than I’d like but we’ll see what it does once I get past the ribbing. (and this color is much more accurate than the other one)
Today I get to go with Supergirl and her kindy class on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. I can’t decide which camera to bring. I just hope I can walk around. On Sunday I really messed up my feet when I broke in my new cleats. I was going to upload this yesterday but didn’t want to make anyone lose their dinner. You’ve been warned do not click this link if you have a weak stomach. These blisters are BAD! See. Toldja.

Those blisters look so painful! I hate cleats, had a pair literally rip the entire back of my heels off at a tournament a few weeks ago. I hope that you have lots of flip-flops and backless shoes to wear while they heal!
Oh ouchy! You need a pair of slip-ons. That yarn is so pretty! It looks like the colors might be spiraling and not pooling. Glad you’re back at it;-)
Ouch! But that cuff is sexy. I don’t blame you for not knitting. Never stopped me from reading! Because surprise! You’re interesting. So I’m glad you’re knitting again (mojo is always good), but ignore the naysayers. =D
Oof, they look like my own blisters I get when breaking in new Lands End shoes. I’ve decided that if a shoe makes my…Achilles heel? do that, it’s not a good shoe.
And the pooling is awesome, keep it up, babe!
No, not haters but you definitely came blame me for asking for
some proof of knitting (very pretty). What you need are some of the clogs without the back.
Keep your feet warm and don’t upset the blisters
OUCH!!! Time to break out the flip flops again.
Ouch!
Dude! Blisters suck. Run to the drug store and get yourself some Band-aid Blister Stick. It’s seriously awesome for new shoes. You rub it on your foot before you put your shoes on and like magic, no blisters. That’s how I got through all those weddings this summer.
Lord, have I seen those blisters before. With two club/high school/indoor soccer playing girls I have seen them all. The worse are the ones that develop under the callus which they have lovingly built in defense of the give and go and the slide tackle.
Who could doubt whether or not you would knit once you said you would? Your feet look sore. I hate blisters. Have fun at the pumpkin patch!
Ouchies!! Those are always the worst. Is that Poison No. 5 from Wollmeise? I so love their stuff- I can’t wait until Loopy Ewe gets their shipment!
You’re not kidding! Those blisters look . . . well, let’s just say they don’t look good. Ha! Do let them heal before attempting those mean cleats again. Fingers and toes — yep, they take a lot of wear and tear on us active girls.
Oh, no you di’n't.
LOL!
(I knew you couldn’t resist.
)
Ouch!! Those look painful. But the cuff looks great
I’m going to pass on the blister picture. My imagination is plenty bad enough.
Pretty, pretty Poison N. 5!
Margene is right, it is more spiralling than pooling, which is nice. Those a re some tough blisters. Yikes, girl friend. I hope you’re not using those cleats anymore, or using some protective footwear with them the next time.
I bypassed the blister photo, I will just have to take your word about how bad they are. Definitely take your better camera to the pumpkin patch. Nothing cuter than kids and pumpkins, except maybe for kids with pumpkins.
Owie! Your feet look as bad as my hubby’s - he’s training for the Goofy Marathon
at Disneyland in January - so at least you have company in your misery!
Nice socks! Good luck at the patch!
Honey, those are some nasty blisters! Owie.
Your sock is progressing nicely. Love that pink!
Ok, I am sitting here with such a look of eeeeew on my face. Ouch!
I think it might be the day for clogs or crocs.
The socks are FAB by the way!
Yikes! Didn’t you feel the pain setting in? Man its all about the flip flops for now!
Oh Girlfriend! OUCH!! I’ve had some nasty blisters, but those, take the cake. Next time……can we say “Moleskin.”??
Ouchies!
I agree. I think it’s spiraling. Great color. Can’t wait to see how the socks turn out.
I am loving that your knitting mojo is back! Yea!
Ouch to the blisters! Our pumpkin patch flooded in all the rain we’ve been having, but the sun finally broke out today so maybe the waters will recede a little. There’s been a lot of disappointed little kids in the last week.
OW OW OW That looks SO painful!! Hope you heal quickly.
That is a gorgeous colorway! My kids had the pumpkin patch trip a couple of weeks ago. I hope you all have fun!
Those blisters just made MY feet hurt. I hope they heal quickly. I miss going to the pumpkin patch. I would have to bribe my son with an iTunes giftcard to get him to go with me. Your sock is looking quite beautiful. Can’t wait to see it finished. Must.. order.. Wollmeise!
OUCH! Gritting my teeth in pain for you!!
I’m not even gonna click that link, I don’t think I can deal. I hope your sore feet didn’t keep you from enjoying the field trip today!
Love the sock - it’s looking great!
Oweeeee! I think I may have had sympathy pains after seeing that.
I love the color of your sock!
Ohhhhhh I love your socks!!! The yarn is beautiful!!
Ohhhhhh I love your socks!!! The yarn is beautiful!!
Holy shit - did you make it through the pumpkin patch?? I had no doubts about your knitting - you go girl!
Beautiful yarn! Hope your heels get better real soon!
Oh, dude! Those feetsies! I hope you decided to wear something with open backs and you covered those open blisters well with bandages — if they get infected, they’ll never heal! I also hope you don’t even have to think about cleats for a while!
That yarn is to die for!! SOOOOO glad I was able to snag some for myself, you enabler you!!
those colors look fab together. (and i have to say, your photography is totally drool-worthy).
So not clicking that link, but I can imagine. Ewwwww
and that is a preeeeetty colour combo!
dude that’s horrendous! In pain much, that made me do a one eye squinty. I hope your boo boos get better quick. Which poison No 5 did you get Medium or Dark? Right now I am using the Pfefferminz Prinz in dark and i freaking love it!
Pretty pretty color! I am SO not clicking on that link…
She knits!
Oh, I hate blisters. I have wimpy feet and get blisters left, right, and center. Ugh.
Owah! I hope the prescription for flip-flops aids you in a speedy recovery, and damn, does that sock look hawt already!
holy. shit.
*thud*
YIKES! Those blisters are BAD!!! Okay sweetie, so Mom’s #1 rule for breaking in shoes: Put the bandaids on BEFORE you get the blisters, like when you put the shoes on for the first, second and third times. Okay?
