I am in the knitting dumps. I took socks with me on vacation. I had half a sock knitted in the Drunken Bees pattern by domesticat, and ripped it out because it didn't suit the yarn. (Beautiful pattern, though, but needs a solid colorway.) Then, I knitted different patterns with my yarn with several false starts. Finally, I settled on Pomatomus. I am not even halfway down the leg. My husband just kept trying to figure out why I kept ripping out these socks - and honestly I don't know why either. None of them suited me. I could have had a pair of socks knitted by this time if I would quit frogging what I started.
I am also in the knitting dumps because I'm so tired this week - all I do is sleep when I get home. I also need to pass a certification in Advanced Pediatric Life Support on November 27th, so I'll be studying, studying, studying from now til then, which cuts into my knitting.
No time or energy for knitting - just puts me in the knitting dumps.
On another note, my cats have been driving me nuts since we got home. Sam, the one we bottle-fed and is now 6 years old, is our huge baby, and he now stands beside me and cries until I hold him. I think I traumatized him by leaving so long - even though we had two people coming to the house to check on them twice a day!!
I will be getting some vacation pictures up on Flickr soon hopefully. And I promise some kitty and knitting pictures soon because I know a pictureless blog is a boring blog!

Hope you had a great time. My kitties do the same thing. You'd think I left them outside to fend for themselves rather than having someone come in 2x/day to feed them and empty their litter boxes! Plus they get run of the house since the dogs are always boarded elsewhere. Good luck on the studying!
