SonnetStitches came to visit, well not me, but I got to see her and her Hubby for a few hours while they were visiting family. We talked, petted yarn, and she showed me how to get started knitting socks two at a time, toe up magic loop style:) And we had a good time as always. I love getting to go visit her and wish I could make the drive up more often.

In other news, work sucks as always. It's busy and my friend Lippy (name changed to protect the innocent) is having some serious family problems. I'd pray for her if I were religious (she is), but I'm not, so I just try to be a good friend and listen to her let off some steam and be there for her as much as I can. We need to have a knitting/soap making night sometime soon, I bet she'd like that and it would help keep her mind off stuff.

I am actually making progress on my socks...slow progress. I have a problem with working on projects that take some time. It's hard for me to sit and just freaking knit through it. I get bored or my ass starts to hurt, or I feel like I'm getting eye strain from the small stitches...I really don't know what my problem is. I think next time I knit a pair of socks, I'm going to try one at a time. I like the satisfaction of visible progress from my hard work, so maybe that would be more rewarding, I'm just not sure of how I would handle SSS. We'll see.

In other news, I'm super effing excited about WWKIP day. I can't wait. I've managed to talk a couple of coworkers into joining me. And I'm really glad that a Ravelry'er from my town actually organized an event here so I don't have to drive an hour or more to join a group in a larger city. Thank you Jennatonnix!

Um, I've went a little fingering weight yarn crazy lately. But I've also been gathering some needles appropriate for sock knitting and I've ordered a couple of pattern books for socks and lace, which I concider an investment because they can theoretically be used forever if taken care of...

I've been working on Lippy's baby blanket as well, so I have actually been knitting, just not as much as I would like.

The next time you do it, it will go faster.

Besides, you're a rock star. Look how fast you're already cranking? :)
