Germany socks

Photographing socks is hard. I never know whether I should take a picture of them on, or if I should lay them flat and photograph them, or what else to do. Attempting to get a photo of me wearing them at 6 months pregnant is a bit of a challenge, too. But, here they are. Pattern is Socks for Euni, yarn is some lovely sock yarn my friend brought back from her Germany trip last summer (yes, I do realize what an awesome friend I have!).

I’m getting a lot of knitting done lately, though I’m not really feeling in the mood for it. I’m not on bed rest but after a scare two weeks ago, and then a lecture from my midwife last week, I’m being forced to “take it easy” – which is really not in my nature whatsoever. And I’m noticing that I physically cannot handle the same workload I used to be able to. It’s incredibly frustrating to feel so… useless. My mind and energy levels say I can do everything I need to do… my body smacks me back to reality after about an hour or two. So I sit, sit, and sit some more. And I knit until I can’t stand it anymore. It’s not the way I want to spend my time, especially with feeling like there is so much to do still before August, but it’s how it has to be this summer. Slow and easy.
