Since U Been Gone

What kind of Fuckery is this?
-Amy Winehouse

Ok, I know that you were planning on posting, but I got reasons.  I rolled over, looked at the clock & that lyric blared through my head. The clock says 6:32 a.m. Of course, I try to go back to sleep before my pissy walk to the coffee machine. Defeated, I'm up! 

This is my all-time favorite On-the-Road bathroom.  Smack of the corner of Rt. 250 & 71!  When you spend a sizable amount of time on the road, you learn to find these gems.  When I started this job, I'd take a tinkle any ole place.  I've got standards now, & I'll hold out for this gas station.  Probably bigger than the fact that each toilet has it's own sink and a nice tile motif,  there's are excellent breakfast & lunch options.  If this picture were taken at lunch time, there'd be a bag containing a spicy chicken sandwich.  Alright enough potty talk.  Sock Pal, I warned you that I was taking your sock along for all my adventures.  I never said that they were going to be Paris Hilton sized adventures.  Come June, your sock will listen to President Clinton address some graduates.  It will also save me from jumping off the balcony onto those graduates.

Here's where I'm at today, what type of leg should I knit for my pal?  All of these stitch patterns can be found in Vogue Stitchionary Vol. 1.  I'm changing the names for a some Two Black Sheep flavor.  Humor me, it's been a crazed family week (just strengthened my belief that I never want to spawn a girl).  Click on the picture if you need a better look.

Left Option: I Haven't Talked with You in 6 Mos., But I'm Pregnant
Right Option: Look Ma, I'm on Cops

Left Option: Stumbling Home after a Bachelorette Party
Right Option: It's noon & I Just now saw the Bar's Hand Stamp is now on My Cheek

I'm leaning towards something off of the top row.  While I love both of the bottom swatches, I'm afraid that it make look a bit skewed.  I think that if I went with one off the bottom row, I should have knit the top foot also in the pattern.  Would it look silly?  So which to I knit?

I just this week saw the 'Cops' episode of "My Name is Earl" (laughed my arse off), so I'm gonna have to go with top right.

i vote for pregnant ribbing.

Personal favorite . . . the bar stamp one. Sock favorite . . . knocked up version. Can't wait for that movie . . . must ask for royalties. Thanks for posting as after all the family "drama" I just don't have it in me.

I like the 6mos, I'm pregnant one. Thanks for the early laugh.

I like the 'pregnant' and the 'bar.' Though you are probably right that the ribbing would look better, given you're done with the foot.

I like "bachelorette party" and "bar". I think it is fine if the pattern is not continued on the top of the foot. Check out "Tidal wave" by SWTC for an example of this...

I like "party" and "bar". They add some pizzazz.

Definitely the bar stamp. And while it would be snazzy to knit the foot top in it, too, I don't think it's essential. It'll be BEAUTIFUL!

i like bachelorette party, and i think it's fine that the leg has patterning but the foot doesn't.

I actually like the bottom two best, but then 'skewed' has never been an adjective that anyone has hesitated to use to describe me!

...and as for the foot, could you (dare I say it?) rip back maybe a row or two and figure out how to sort of 'fade' the pattern in over the top of the foot before it starts in earnest on the leg?

(sorry - I know - I shouldn't be butting my Sockpal nose into the Other Sheep Sister's business!)
