What?
i should be reading about the rise of Buddhism in America during the 20th century...but i haven't shown off my finished socks yet! so, without furthur ado, may i present pair 2 of 2006:
Yarn: Baby Ull, 1 1/2 skiens; a charcol grey.
Needles: size 1 Addis...Magic Loop BABY
Start/ Finish: 13 january/ 22 january
Pattern: none...just a generic toe up sock
Notes: have i mentioned that i love this yarn? i want to marry it. i think i need to buy the yarn store out and make myself complete sets of clothing from Baby Ull. another note, look at those loooooong cuffs! i'm so proud.
and because i can't keep my hands still even for half an hour, i cast on for pair #3 for the year. dig this--i stole the yarn from the fella's tinnie little stash. it's Lion Brand Magic Stripe again, but it's not the Clown Puke colorway, so i've not a clue what it's called. these guys have a short row toe, you know, to mix it up a bit.
I've plunked down my $3 for the Mystery Shawl-a-long 3 . i had fun with the last one and figured "hell, why not?"
Okay, some non-knitting content. feel free to bail out if you wish. you've been warned!
have any of you seen Brokeback Mountain? i saw this almost 2 weeks ago with a dear friend of mine, and i am still being tortured by it....tortured in the very best way possible. i read the story sometime before seeing the movie and cried my fool head off about it. the movie was a fabulous adaptation (actually, the best adaptation that i think i've ever seen). okay, that's all...i'm still pretty speechless about it.
Um, yeah, i edited this cause i was reading the nice comments everyone had left and i thought to myself
"Self, 4 days seems wrong...didn't it take you longer than 4 days to knit those socks??? it must have, cause that's just crazy talk..."
so, i checked, and i'd misread the 13 as 18....i'm overcome with shame....
