Yesterday was August 1 and I pulled a bag for my personal sock club.
Then I pulled another bag.
One bag went back into the stash and we're not talking about it.
Later today I will be ripping back this little guy and restarting him with smaller needles. I hate how the colors are pooling and life's to short to knit socks with color issues.
(This is a perk of being a spoiled princess the owner of an overflowing sock drawer.)
The yarn is some kind of wool (maybe blend?) that arrived here in cake form via The Squish. We'll have to wait to find out what exactly it is. Not that it matters. It's pink and gray. What's not to love?
Other than the pooling...
I think the socks will end up being footies or very short ankle socks. I still love those styles of sock and they'll be for me, so why not?
Happy Sunday, people!
Somebody take a nap for me!
I particularly like Johnny Paycheck and tongue stapler!
That will make some gorgeous socks, I'm sure. Now if I can only find that sock knitting mojo...I'm sure I left around here somewhere... /sigh.

Love the colors of your August sock. Have you ever stapled a tongue? I stapled my finger once in school, and I can attest to the intense pain it caused. And, yes. doh;-P

Remind me not to get near you when you've got a stapler in your hand. Oi.

I agree; pooling makes me nuts. I love the pink and gray. It reminds me of when I was young, earnest, just out of college, and had the cutest gray suit with a pink shirt that had a huge floppy self-tie. Oh, noes, I'm dating myself here...

I just awoke from a nap, so consider it done.

Why not indeed. God knows, I keep making the same socks over and over again.

Stapler: Tongue ?!? Ouch.

I love the yarn! Love. Very girlie.
I'm going to soak in the tub, will that do for the nap? I may doze off in there......
Happy Sunday, Cookie.

It's Claudia hand painted fingering in pink cloud. This is what the yarn did for me:

I like those colors. Someday I'll cast on a sock...someday.

I took your nap. It was a nice nap. Do you want it back?

I have to ask, what are those little things you're always posting?
Posted by: Hattie | Sunday, August 02, 2009 at 06:11 PM
Stapler::tounge?
How about, desk::disaster area. That would be mine. :)

Why do gifts from the Squish always pool? Could it be that she's more evil than we thought and sends you stuff like that on purpose? ;-)

I'm pretty sure that's Claudia's Handpaints because I'm pretty sure I own some as well. :)

So, what exactly are you stapling tongues TO? (or, To what are you stapling tongues?)

Laughing at #4. Hey, you're knitting a sock! I'll be damned.
