See...it's a freaking sock:)

It may be small and a bit deformed, but it's a SOCK.

So, yeah...

I pretty much suck at updating any blog I've ever had, I'd much rather read and look at other people's lovely blogs: and here is where I would link to SonnetStitches and KnitJoKnit if I could remember how to do that. Sheesh, looks like Joanna's got more work cut out for her than just teaching me how to knit a sock:) ps. I figured it out...

Anyway, so I know I said I would take pictures of stuff as it comes in and I have not done so...because I'm lazy I guess. I've gotten in two OP beach bags that I think will be perfect back up knitting bags. And I also got a sweet "primary" knitting bag from ebay that a lady sews up herself from cotton quilts. I also got a pencil case which shall hold my notions and a water bottle holder that shall hold, well, my water bottle. The knitting bag came with a needle case as well, which is cool, but a wee bit bulky so it may be my stay-at-home-hold-my-not-in-use-needles case.

And get this...my roommate actually gave me the "you can't by any more sock yarn until you knit a pair of socks" lecture....already! I haven't even freakin started sock yarn gathering and she launched into it...can you freakin' believe it? Anyway, I waited until she went to bed then ordered $70 worth of high-quality sock yarn from Simply Socks Yarn Company so that I felt like I actually diserved that lecture:) Really, I still can't believe it. I even pulled up the photo of KnitJoKnit's plastic container of sock yarn as a visual aide. I only had enough yarn for three pairs of socks when she started lecturing! Ok...I'm done...really.

I bought a book on simple socks from Hastings tonight so I can get started soon. And besides, technically I did knit a freaking sock...even though it was my test baby sock.

Order #1

I couldn't wait for the mail today...I was hoping I'd get a box...and I did! Yay KnitPicks!

I don't really have specific plans for all of it yet, but I was thinking maybe a cabled scarf for the Andean Silk in Lettuce and perhaps some handwarmers for the Gloss in Cosmos and of course some yummy socks out of the Felici in Gelato. The pretty dpns are going to be used to start a spiral baby blanket for a friend and to flesh out my needle collection, of course.

Man, I really have no idea why my pictures are so dark. They looked good and bright on my camera...

Just getting started...

Working on 2 projects: scarf and baby blanket.
Waiting on 5 packages, 4 shipments of yarn and some knitting bags...heh...
Will post pics as packages arrive.
