If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right....

Attention, attention, read all about it. Senseless yarn purchase delivered today! I am so giddy I don't think I'll sleep tonight. I definitely will be taking it to work to show people (whether they're interested or not).

I became tired of not finding any cool yarn in this one-yarn-store-town so I bit the bullet and ordered online. I know, risky. Don't remind me. However, this store is on the top of my list. Granted, when my friends remind me that I am knitting a $23 pair of socks, I get a bit queasy. I blame it on the dye fumes.

I won't take pictures until I'm working with it. I will however show you what I got via the online-pictures I ordered from. I must warn you, it will be hard to resist ordering a couple of hanks for yourself. If you fall victim to it's allure, don't worry, just drop me a line & I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

I got the yarn from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. I picked Lagoon & Rolling Stone for my first purchase (medium weight). It will be hard not stopping the socks I am working on and starting on a new pair using one of the babies. I will just think of it as a reward for finishing another pair of socks.

Be strong, just be strong............

Deadly Snake?!? (update)

Normally I would post pictures to show the progress I'm making on my socks. I must say, it wouldn' t look much different than the previous post. I'm going to admit something to you that I don't speak of often...I have a bit of an attention problem. I don't know if it's because I have a young child and puppy at home, maybe it's because I work with kindergartners all day long. All I know is I feel like I can't put down a project until it's done. Let me elaborate.

I was knitting up a storm on the socks and feeling like I was making excellent progress. Funny thing about confidence, it has a way of making you feel all warm and snuggly then decides to start dating the milkman. I was working on the heel area of my sock and for some stupid reason, started following the directions for the toe decrease.

It was at that point I realized I had two options: a) bind my feet OR b) frog like nobody's business. I chose option b. Now I am at the EXACT same spot I was in the previous post. Being as frustrated as I was, I did the natural thing. I purchased two sets of addi 24" circulars and started a new pair of socks. Keep reading for future pic's of the socks. I'm holding off on posting so I don't jinx myself.....again.

TTFN

Deadly Snake?!?

Is it a deadly snake?

No! It's my next pair of socks!

I started another pair of socks yesterday while I waited for the carpet guy to start/finish the job. I purchased the yarn on a trip to South Dakota with my mom. I think we bought it in Spearfish. Don't quote me on that one.

Cascade Yarn, Sassy Stripes
superwash 75% New wool, 25% Nylon
size 2 circular
2" k2, p2
the rest is knit in the round

Finished Socks!

Here are the beauties I finished over Easter weekend. I love going on weekend trips, nothing to do but sit in the car and knit. The tops are done in a basic k2, p2 on two size 2 circulars. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE knitting socks on circulars. It's lightening fast. Oh sweet addi turbos, my life was nothing before you showed up. Now only if I had another pair in size 1......
