Out with the old, in with the new
Can we pretend that it is still Socktoberfest? I mean, seriously. I planned more socks; I thought about more socks, I started knitting new socks, I oggled beautiful, loving socks.
I loved all the Great Interviews and wonderful tutorials.
Thank you Lolly for putting it together and making it so wonderful!
These were started during Socktoberfest.
I spent alot of time on them, mostly in ripping them. 4 or 5 times?? That’s what happens when you change things on paper, but forget about said changes. (And consequently, revert the changes, then space that out as well, and re revert but cast on the old number of stitches, etcetera etcetera so on, and so forth.) These weren’t what I started out making… They look much different on paper. But, after so much ripping, I had to say ‘eff it’, and I took the easy way out.
Is there anything worse than rainy, early morning, indoor flash photography? Not a whole lot. heh.
On to the NEW!
I went to the mailbox yesterday, and BLAM!
A package from my gurl crush, Boogie
Ohhhh & Ahhhh the colors!!!
I’ve already started swatching (a swatchWhattttttt? Yes, says the Queen of Anti-Swatch)
Just in time for NoroVember
and NaNoSweMo.
Is it just me, or do I smell these two things going perfectly together?
Yessssssssssss.
I did pretty well on my to do list for yesterday. Not everything got done, but I didn’t diverge from it too much.
More of the same today. All kinds of deadlines to be met. And the shop needs to be updated tomorrow.
Today, it seems I have some angry children to contend with. They are 200 kinds of mad at me, mostly due to the fact there is no more candy left for *cough* breakfast. Apparently, I can not be trusted near sugar. Time out for mom….

It can be Socktoberfest all year long!
of course, I will also be knitting on some other goodies - and it looks like you will too! We are in all of the same KALs!

Love the socks, love all the rovings. I have got to get back to my spinning, thank you for the inspiration! And um, if you want any Reese’s or Butterfingers… Several sets of parents gave me an “Oh, thanks, lady” look when I kept telling their kids to take more. They didn’t take nearly enough.

Please. Guinness is for breakfast not candy.
