see mi knit

Went to Kris' tonight for some more knitting and some more So You Think You Can Dance.

I forgot I had to block Hudson before I can seam the raglan pieces and I haven't had time to do that because I've been moving. So I did the only logical thing:

Start a new project of course!  This time it's two socks on two circulars. I think it's the Broad Ripple sock pattern but I can't be sure because I think I left the pattern at Kris'.  How I did that I don't know, because I was very careful to ask her if I could have her copy before stuffing it in my bag but it's... gone.

Anyway, nevermind that I have half a sock left for my Japanese... feather... sock.  Everyone knows that the true sign of a knitter is to have a billion projects going at once.  It took me about an hour to figure out the casting and get on a roll with the rounds (the same amount of time it took Kris to cast on 299 and go one round) so I'm very excited to see how quickly this can go.

I'm baaaa-aaack.

After a disappointing summer of hot weather combined with hot wool (and let's face it, plain laziness) I've picked up my needles once again.

It was because of an irresistable combination of pizza, pita chips, crab dip, Lani, US Weekly Magazines, and a recording of So You Think You Can Dance.  Let me tell you, Kris knows how to lure this knitter back to the knitting world.

As if that wasn't enough to bowl me over, she was sweet enough to get me a signed copy of the Yarn Harlot's book!  The first time I read her copy of it I pretty much read it all the way through. Now I have my own copy to peruse at my leisure.  Did I mention that it's signed?!? I love you Kris as much as I hate John!

I finally finished all the major pieces of Hudson.  I "just" have to seam them all and pick up stitches for the hood.  Wish me luck, hopefully it will be less than 4 months before I post again. ;)
