The start of something beautiful...

Rumor has it I love socks and sock yarn... and maybe even knit socks sometimes. Can you guess how many skeins of sock yarn I have? (Those of you that know hush up. :P)

This is all true, in fact Friday night I was hanging out with a couple of ultra faboo knitters and I cast on to a new sock. I then had to frog and cast on when I got home because math is hard and I failed to accurately count the number of stitches I cast on. With the help of a few stitch markers I got it going the right way.

Progress as of a few minutes ago:

I call them my Honey Socks. Mainly cause I'm making them for my honey.

It didn't start out that way, but when he saw them last night after an afternoon of knitting he said he really liked it.

I repeat he said he REALLY LIKED it. Meaning I don't have to knit him plain jane black socks or dull navy blue sock from now until eternity. *Happy Otter Dance*

After he said that I asked if he would wear them. He said he would. *GRIN*

So now they are my Honey Socks. The yarn is Claudia Hand Painted 100% Merino in the colorway Caribbean Blue. I am loving how it's knitting up. I need to go ahead and cast on to the second sock before I get too far though.

Then after I get that cast on I can cast onto my own pair of socks with some yummy yummy Dave Yarn. Yesssssss my preciousssss..... Mmmmmmm

The weekend has been a good one. Too short as always but mostly good.

The kitty had a rough day yesterday, which the honey waited to tell me about until I got home. (o.0) But the moment I got home she started feeling better and ate some kitty food. Today she has more than made up for her lack of eating. Plus she also went outside with us and got some sunshine and fresh air. She's doing well and adjusting to her meds.

I was outside knitting in the warm breeze and sunshine, in shorts and a t-shirt, for half an hour. Spring is here, Baby!!!

With Spring comes Spring cleaning. Did a bunch of that too. Inhaled far too much dust though. My sinuses officially still hate me. I'll live though, at least we had the windows and the screen door open. :D

I still have a lot more spring cleaning and "do I really need this anymore or can I give it to the thrift store that helps fund the SPCA?" organizing.

I came across a hanging wall Calendar I've had since 1986 when I was a wheee lassy of 11 in the mix today. Hang onto the past much? o.0 In my defense it was a Garfield Calendar. Loves the Garfield Kitty.

Oh OUCH, OUCH, That hurts. It just NOW occurred to me that it was a 20 year old calendar. OUCH. I'm wounded. Can't go on... Light fading... *dies of old age*

Where'd the time go? o.0

Although I MUST say I am sure as fuck glad I am not 11 anymore. Or 18. Or even 24.

I'm muchly happy to be the age I am, cause otherwise I'd be trapped in the same place and time I was trapped at 11 or whatever.

I think I'm mostly just amazed I've lived this long. o.0

I still have a bunch of stuff I've been moving around with me in all the years since I moved out of my mothers house to go through. Living in Reno, in this House, our home, is the first time I've felt like it was going to be a good place to plant some roots.

Now I just wish I could find some nice leggy tomato plants. *L*

I can GUESS at how many sleins of (sock) yarn you have. We'll just say that you should open a store. Really. Reno could use one with YOUR touch.
A 20 year old calendar. Oh, honey, you have NO idea. But glad you are feeling settled in. And that Kitty is doing better.

[Norma]

Boy, do I now feel old.

[Cookie]

Norma, she does that to me, too. You'll adjust. *L*

Yay! I'm so glad you're making him socks. I know how much sock yarn there is and I kind of thought there was more than that. /runs

Isn't it nice when your honey lets you get creative (or at least colorful) with his sock! Do you have a box that you have just never unpacked? We finally got rid of the last one about a year ago.

*HUGS*

Wow you've been busy while I've been MIB. Love the pink socks and your Honey Socks are definitely handsome. What guy wouldn't love them?!

How wonderful that you were able to get together with Anne. Isn't it wonderful when we meet someone and it gels? Ummmm martinis. Yummmm.

Sending continued good health wishes for your little charmer.

My way of calming myself is repeating "Tiny little raindrops, tiny little raindrops. Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean" Of course I'm always ready for someone to pee in that ocean. LOL

Hope your having lots of reasons for Happy Otter Dancing!!

You have enough for 75 pair?

Ahhh... 86... neon everything... those candy button belts... aqua net,Motley Crue, Bon Jovi and female mullets. Ahhhhh those were the days!

Did you know that National Hugging Day was first observed in 1986?
