This is timely.
I was just commenting to the Hubs the other day about what a limited edition, very rare kind of special person I am (I have the best illusions of grandeur). Then I made a discovery.

This is clearly inaccurate, as I exist.
Moving on.
Knits finished in ‘06: Socks!
Pattern: Monkey by Cookie.
Yarn: 2 skeins Claudia’s Handpainted sock yarn, Spring Break colorway.
Needles: Size 2 Addi’s, 2 circ style.
These socks are comfy, squishy, cozy, and I heart the lace pattern. Took six repeats to get down my monster feet, but I was still juiced enough that I’m nearly done with a second pair. They are also inspiring a shoe shopping trip in the near future.
Hey, must use the handknits, right?
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like moments of time are knit into the items I create. All I can think about when I wear these guys is a crazed trip to Richmond and a marathon of Bones with one (1) awesome variety of person. Go team!
So I’m looking for another sock pattern. I’m hoping there is one either already in my grasp or that will be headed my way soon to inspire me. There’s more yarn that I would like to admit in the sock stash at the moment (my civic duty!) and I am in the mood for fancy footwears. I have the personality and the gumption for obsessive, repetitive pattern knitting if I really dig the pattern. And while the idea of plain stockinette socks make for speedy ideas, I’m wondering if there isn’t something else out there I would like just as well.
It’s looking like 2007 will be the Year of the Sock at this casa.

*karate chop hand motion* You okay?
Kekeke. Haldo haldo rachface.
Man. The yarn stores up here are so disappointing in comparison to your neck o’ the woods. CLEARLY I must go back down thar to buy things. This is why I’ve gotten myself a jorb… myesh.
I’ll be back in school in a few days, and most likely back online more often. When I’m not knitting, of course. And working the multitude of jobs I am considering acquiring. Because I have a suspicion that this past fall began a series of leafy events that I do not have in my power of all powers to cease and desist. Instead, I am cursed – no, DOOMED – to find monetary sources for my compulsive traveling.
Hoo-RAY!
PS – this industriousness (me job hunting and what not) is also going to lead to more trips to your abode. Once I has my car, you know. So, prepare yourself, because that’s the type you are. The preparing type.
Hope your January is faring well. I got me a new book on designing my own knitting projects which I am super excited about. Ho shits, this post is long. Time for me to uh, stop posting and call you or something. I mean, if I have this much to say… honestly! :p
