Socks from the Toe Up Class approacheth!

McNeedles of Lacombe will be holding a two-session Toe-Up Sock Knitting class this month. After having a book for well over two plus years, I think that taking this class is going to be the impetus that will finally kick-start me into knitting socks.

I don't like finishing things. I like to pick a project, revel in the yarn, start it, get thisclose to finishing, then stashing the unfinished project away somewhere... there's got to be something in the DSM5 about that.

Well, as soon as I get into this class, I'll post more about socks. I hope.

Another year older and deeper in debt...

So. I've joined Ravelry and am currently loading all my yarnish activities past, present, and future into its database. I've put LOTS of my yarn in; I keep finding new hidden stashes in my room. CATALOGING, y'all. WHAT.
I'd say I've got 99% of my needles (straight, DPN, circular) and crochet hooks in there, too. I have loaned a set of Size US 8 (steel) to Sam so she can learn how to knit. She's a Whiz-Bang crocheter, so it shouldn't be too hard for her.

I did finally locate my old knitting binder and am re-arranging it to add all the newer patterns from the new binder. Because the old binder is BIGGER.

On needles currently? That damned Herringbone scarf.
On crochet hook? The Star Trek Travel Mug Cozy. In Science Blue.
