Ten
Margene, my love, I'm sending you the bill for couples therapy.
We took the first one, but then I felt like you
couldn't tell I was balancing the package on my head.
So we took eighty-seven million more in various locations.
He thinks he's a photographer now.
Georgie's home for the rest of the week. Besides photog, he's added blogger to his resume, even though I had to give him the old "If you're home during blogging hours, you've got to get with the program" lecture. He's been on three conference calls and thrown me out of MY office twice, but hey, togetherness is bliss. Right?
I'm at the point in the work now that there's only a couple more things to do and if I'm not careful I'll forget about them. I also set a knitting goal for myself: one and a half jaywalkers down from FIVE COMPLETED PAIRS SINCE OCTOBER 19th. I'm challenging myself to finish off the last sock BEFORE Jan 1. I should have the ninth sock completed by the weekend - by Saturday - so then I have a week to go for the tenth. Piece of cake.
PS - Bloglines? Nice work. Thank you.

So, do you think that the Jaywalker is a manly enough pattern and can I use faux fair-isle yarn?

My Jaywalker Challenge? By January 1 to have not picked up the phone and said the words "Dude, sorry, it's just not going to happen." I'm an underachiever.

Ok, I think I'm going to send you my Jaywalkers and make you knit them for me.
Five pairs since October 19, hmmf, show off...

Georgie is blogging?

Great photos - yay Georgie. Maybe being married to a photographer is like being the daughter of an engineer? Go ask Wendy!

That cracks me up - G was in your office. Lay down the law, girlfriend ;)
Yep, Bloglines came through... for a little while!

I'm taking my second Jaywalker sock on the plane to Calif. if I manage to make it to JFK without incident.

I've read so much about STR on your site--and then seeing that HUGE box of your STR stash in the pic with the packages to be mailed sent me over the edge! I ordered two skeins on the sly today :o) Can't wait for them to get here!

You are putting me to SHAME. I keep dutifully knitting my mum her Jaywalkers at my stunningly slow pace and then I peruse your blog and become consumed by jealousy. I WANT ME SOME JAYWALKERS. I'm heading to my LYS tomorrow and if I don't come home with a skein of STR in every dyelot they'll have to take me out back and shoot me.

After seeing that box of STR at your house, I was thinking I could just order from you :)!
The cards came yesterday - just beautiful. Thanks.
