Know your priorities Part II
OK everyone, thanks for all the enabling! I knew I'd avoid buyer's remorse if you helped validate my decision to buy a another wheel. (giggle) The wheel was shipped yesterday (I hope).
I still need clothes, shoes, house stuff, etc., but what I got to spend my money on this week was a new tooth.
One of my teeth decided to crack (I promise I did nothing to help this along - it did it all on its own). The dentist thought I may need a root canal, but we did just a crown instead. Oh, and a crown lengthening, too. I just went and looked that term up on the internet - sometimes too much information is not good before the procedure. I'm glad I didn't know exactly what they were up to in there. I was at the dentist's office 5 hours yesterday.
Even with dental insurance, I'm now much, much poorer.
Per the dentist I may still need the root canal later on - we're waiting to see if the tooth settles down. Maybe I'll sing it lullabys every night.
Rock-a-bye toothie, in the sore gum,
When the Tylenol blows , the toothie will hum
When the crown breaks, the toothie will fall
and out will come toothie, money and all.
Guess it's a good thing that I've got plenty of stash - the yarn/fiber budget just went down the tubes.
This is Socks that Rock in medium weight Nodding Violet. I'm using 2.75mm size 2 Brittany birch dpns and my own pattern.

And now for knitting news:
The red Mom socks are done!
Yarn: Lang Jawoll sock yarn (and I never did use that reinforcing yarn they provided)
Color: Bright red (sorry I don't have the number handy)
Needles: Size 2.25mm Brittany Birch double points
Pattern: Kind of my own thing, although I think I got the idea for the leg pattern from a Knitting Vintage Socks pattern - it looks familiar anyway.
And now on to sis-in-law #1's socks. I promised both of the sis-in-laws socks, since they saw the pair I made my father-in-law. (I think it was the way they pleaded that did it.)

Oh you poor thing! Though I'm not sure which one is more painful ... putting in a crown or blowing the yarn budget ;-)
I'm glad I visit the in-laws only once a year and I'm immune to all pleading and flattery! But your sister-in-law should be happy with those. The colours are gorgeous.
Oh, that's awful! That's good yarn money!
Oh, I'm kidding - I hope you're OK! That's a great little ditty, by the way...
Ooohh- very painful, not least to the yarn budget!
I'm just wondering how Marina gets away with only one visit a year?
Hope the tooth is feeling better! At least the anticipation of the new wheel will be a great distraction :)
Love the socks! And that red is terrific.
