i'm trying to keep up on the school work (i take my classes online, so i have to police myself) so that means not so much blogging. what i lack in quantity i will try to make up for in quality...at least that's the plan. so, i've been knitting socks like an insane person with six feet to clothe. right now, i have 4 different pairs on the needles. they are just so easy and portable, and some of them i can work on while reading for school.
these lovelies are from a *free* pattern called Pretty Comfy Socks and i am making them in blazing fuchia Cascade Fixation. i like the pattern, and i love Fixation, so it's really a win win situation for me. they are a suprisingly easy knit. low effort, high impact...gotta love it.
this little beauty is the beginnings of the Gull Wing sock from the book Socks Socks Socks
in other sock news, i think i've decided what pattern i'm going to use for my Sockapalloza pal. i'm leaning towards Pomatomus from the current knitty. i feel pressure to make something really sensational cause my pal has been published. plus, i really love these socks. i'm not sure what yarn i'm going to use, but i think that i want to dye it myself. i'm sorta going for a whole aquatic/ oceanic theme and i think i can make yarn to match that.
on completely non knittng news, my writing teacher approved my research paper topic. i am going to be writing about the use of yoga and spirituality to control depression. i'm so jazzed. anyone out in blog land have any thoughts on this subject, i'd love to hear them!
