Channeling My Inner Friday

The Ravelry Shirt is here!  It’s very cute.  A little on the small side – I ordered a size larger than usual and it’s a bit snug.  But I’z can stretch.   And it found my stitches!  That second trekking sock is nearing completion.  An hour wait at the chiro really helped it grow.  And with it the realization that possibly, probably tomorrow I’ll be looking around for just the right sock pattern for that Shibui yarn that has been calling to me.  Or the mittens that I know would keep my hands quite warm since the heat is still not ON.  I’m thinking it should be on. 

I know it’s Wednesday.  But for me.  It is really Friday.  No School. No work till Monday.  So it’s Friday, Friday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.  I have plans.  And then my plans have plans.  There is knitting in the plans.  And possibly yarn shopping.  And knitting friends.  And relaxing.  And sleeping late.  If you put a post it across your forehead when you go to sleep at night, will it still be there in the morning so no one wakes you up to ask you why you’re still sleeping. (I’m going to do a pre-emptive strike tonight and announce it, but these things can get forgotten)  And if you place another post it, say on your chin, to explain why you don’t really want to wake up enough to explain why your still sleeping.  Will it stops it from talking?  How about just a post it that says “its sleeps, do not wakes it”?

I already have my pajama’s on! And wool socks.  And a fleece jacket. 

It’s cold.

SockPile

Or should I say StockPile.  Stock of Socks Pile?  The Aussi Socks were done and on the feet last night.  I really was a lot further along that my eyes were telling me.  So, instead of casting on the wonderful orangeness of yarn, I pulled those blue garter rib socks outta the pile.  Let’s just tidy these up, shall we?  Then, when I cast on for the mittens or better yet, my sons Wallaby, I won’t have these dangling sockages hanging over my head.

Just two shawls, and a cardy.  And a Scarf.  But that’s it.

I think.

And I think I have enough blue socks now.  I need to cover some other colors in the sock wardrobe soon. 

But this weather makes me want to have nice, warm, wooly socks to put on my cold, cold feet at night – we still haven’t turned on the heat yet.  And while this is not a furnace war, like the Yarn Harlot had going on, I’m just throwing on that sweater and stockpiling those warm socks to keep the chill away.  Our weather isn’t nearly that cold yet, but I’m thinking we’ll be throwing the switch soon.  And I did see some snow squalling up in our Cloudy skies today…….

I headed over to Barnes and Noble today to see if I could snag a copy of Knitting from the Top by Barbara Walker – recommended to me by blogless Elise.  They didn’t have it.  So I came home an clicked it onto my Amazon wish list.  I figure, If I’m going to make sweaters that fit, and I have a few ideas floating around in my head for designs, I better get educated on this sweater designing thing.  Not that it will help.  It does involve math.  Me + Math = certain disaster.  Maybe I should snag myself some of that neato sweater design software and let that take care of the maths?  Anyone?  Bueller? 

Back to the Sockpile!
