Still knitting those socks...

I'm sure if I actually worked hard on them, I'd be able to finish them fairly quickly, considering I'm just going to continue the 2x2 ribbing until it's time to play with the heel...

But I keep getting distracted by things like hair-tie commissions and stuff... Yes. Hair-tie commissions. I "invented" a hair-tie, simple cord with a tag on one and and a loop on the other. Pretty effective when it comes to tying up the hairs... =) It even holds back my massive amount of unruly hair...

H'okay... It's too warm to knit outside (yes, I'm lazy like that) and I have a new station to play with on Pandora... I'll hopefully be getting a new net book soon which will be nice, because then I can put on a movie or something and knit wherever... as opposed to having to use the computers in the trench in the MTCC... The bad lighting down here is not conducive to knitting with dark colors... Especially with this ridiculous pattern and my choice to work from both ends of the same ball instead of two different ones...

Wow, already loving this Pandora station... Starts out with "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables, then "Angel of Music" from Phantom, and now it's playing "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast... AMAZING...

On the subject of socks.

Okie. Started the new socks on Thursday night. Got REALLY confused after the first margarita, and put them away to deal with another time. Note to self, next time you want to drink and knit, don't start on a pattern the likes of which you've never attempted before... =D Thankfully, I realized that margaritas and two socks at once was NOT the way to play the game, so I put that away... Took it out again today and figured it out. (Minus the fact that I cast on with the wrong color... ::shrug:: It could be worse, they're just not going to have a different color stripe at the top. No big deal =) So far the colors are going to be Navy Blue and Black, but I don't know if I want to make them that dark, so I might make the contrasting color a white or ... something. I'll figure it out. I'm a smart cookie, especially when it comes to figuring things out... =)

So, I went to the crack store...

...and only bought needles!!!!!

Yes, I've been calling Loopy my "crack" store, because, well, good yarn is addicting.

I was SO proud of myself, though! I walked in, went straight for the needles (which was the reason for going) and when I couldn't find the circs (they keep them in a different place, tricksey!) I went straight to the guy for help and didn't even TOUCH any of the lovely hanging yarn...

::sigh::

One day, when I'm intolerably rich, I'm going to go into Loopy and NOT feel guilty when I leave the store... =)

Aaaand more sock information...

So, going to "give up" on the socks (read: keep them on the side so they're still interesting) and start a new pair.

The pattern wants me to do both socks at the same time... That'll be interesting... But I think I can do it. I plan on using some pretty Cascade 220 that I have lying around... Unless, of course, I find something better to use that for. =D (Alright, sentence structure just Isn't My Thing today. I apologize.)
