fresh out

Of ideas. I have been feeling fuzzy today, like my brain forgot to brush its teeth. That sort of happens with migraine meds.

I did turn the heels on both socks! Wheeeeeeeeee. I’m gonna do the legs in stockinette, I think, because I seriously want them done by Sunday night. Not too much pressure on myself I hope, getting a pair done in a week. Why is it so important to finish them by then? Because I have a job interview Monday afternoon and would like to wear a pair of simple but nicely neutral socks that nonetheless have that handpainted handknit flair… And maybe, just maybe, handknits are a very good thing. A security blanket. An ooooo I love the socks feeling. Maybe I’m weird.

I’m ok with that.

Tiphanie and I are going back and forth about what I should mini-splurge on for my first knitiversary. I am thinking about three skeins of Koigu to make knee highs with, two of a mottled one and one of a solid coordinating color for the toes, heels, and cuffs. The most realistic suggestion Tiffany came up with was for a couple balls of Noro silk garden lite for a pair of knee highs.

Sockly, no?

What do you think? What would you pick?

The boys think I’d have more fun if I’d just get in the tub with them.
