New Shoes!!
So, I ordered the Tsubo Popov from Zappos.com on Sunday night and they were on my doorstep yesterday, 1pm. I luuuurve them, but, they are too small :(! I ordered my siz, but i guess they run really small, so I called the cust. service # and they re-ordered a larger size and gave me free overnight shipping, so I should have them tomorrow!! Woo hoo!!!
I cant wait to wear them with my knit socks! I have quite a few of them now and can match them to almost everything I wear. I think I need some yellows and browns and maybe even black.
Oh, and I've c/o on 2 more socks! Woo!! Well, off to work now!

More F/O's!
I have really been in a sock knitting groove!
Pattern: Plain Old vanilla on 66 sts
Yarn: Interlacements Tiny Toes #205
Needles: sz 2 sox stix
Started:3-8-08
Finished:3-15-08
The yarn was super smooshy and feels wonderful on the feet! I think I ordered it from The Loopy Ewe and will most def order it again.
Pattern: Jaywalker
Yarn: Great Adirondack Cholla
Needles: Addi Turbo sz 1 40" 1 at a time
Started: 3-1-08
Finished: 3-12-08
The yarn was absolutely wonderful. I can't wait until they are re-stocked at TLE. (Those credits add up!!!)
Pattern: Making it up as i go... hopefully no one has it out so I can publish it for free.
Yarn: Yarn Love Elizabeth Bennet "Darling"
Needles: Addi Turbo sz 1 40" 1 at a time
Started: 3-18-08
This yarn is a pleasure to knit with. I plan on making these socks as tall as possible and most likely will end with a picot cuff.
Besides knitting socks like crazy, I have also started the Feather and Fan Shawl from "A Gathering of Lace", but I am making it a blanket on sz 10.5 needles with Cascade Eco Wool. It's coming along wonderfully and I have just ordered needled from Knit Picks so I can finish it. I would take a pick, but it just looks like a grey blob. I'm hoping for the needles to arrive before the weekend so I can finish the blanket.
Since I don't have any other projects to work on (yeah right), I c/o for the Feather and Fan Shawl in lace weight BFL. I'm using the yarn from another shawl that I started last summer that I got tired of.
Along with all of those projects, I also re started a cardigan. More on that in the next post!
Happy Knitting!!
P.S. Thanks for the nice comments! I think I've got my blogging mojo back!!

You Know Its Bad When...
You get an email saying... are you still alive, up date your blog!!! Well, I am fine! I've been really busy with a new job and planning on going back to school. That should be really fun... But anyway, I wont a contest!! I went over to Kamika's blog and entered and low and behold, I was a winner! Here's what I won:
Hair revitalizer and a set of stitch markers. The pic of the st markers don't do justice to the true colors! I love them!!
Ok. So I have been working on a ton of projects. This is the Koolhaas hat I'm knitting using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmarino in a hot pink. I might over dye it... I don't know yet.
I just finished knitting this single sock for a gift. I don't have to have both of the ready until september, so i have plenty of time to finish.
I started knitting this pair of socks last summer from yarn that I got from a swap.
Pattern: Embossed Leaves
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill "Brights"
Needles: Sz 1 1/2 Crystal Palace
Next up is a single Jaywalker. I just started this sock and this yarn is sooooo yummy!! I'm about to order more!!
Yarn: Great Adirondack in Chollo
Pattern: Jaywalker (c/o 84 sts)
Needles: Sz 1 Addi turbo
And lastly... Monkeys! i loved the pattern and it was super easy to memorize. I'll most likely knit it a few more times :) !!
Yarn: Claudia Handpainted Yarn in Bearded Iris
Pattern: Monkey
Needles: Sz 2 Lantern Moon Sox Stix
Claudia's yarn is super soft and yummy....
That's all for now!! I'll be back soon!!

Noro!!!
Happy Holidays!!!
It has been fah-evah since my last post... but all of that is about to change. It is official... I no longer work for someone else. I am back to working for myself, and it feels great!
Along with this new sense of freedom comes more time to knit! Yay!! I have already started on a pair of socks. I ordered the new Noro sock yarn from The Loopy Ewe last Wednesday and it was at my door Friday. How is that for customer service! So anyway, I went to a dinner Saturday night and casted on as soon as I finished the course.
Here are the socks. The 2nd is almost complete, most likely will be finished tonight. The yarn is interesting, though. It feels like the worsted weight Noro but just sock weight and knits up wonderfully on sz 1. It still has the thin/ thick slubs in the yarn. When I finish, I will give the yarn a good soak and see how it blooms. The color is 95 and it was a total accident that the colors matched up that way! i will have enough yarn left over to knit a pair of anklets :).
Happy Knitting!
