HUH?

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

I don't know about London, but tomorrow V. and I are road trippin'.

The blue Kroy socks are done - except for the grafting of the second toe which will be done when I am back, that'll happen some time on Saturday. Am going to miss the Knit Thing tomorrow night, darn. Have fun, ladies!

I'm trying really hard...

Seven. Seven single socks (and I am not even counting some that have left my house on a mission) that want a partner finished - or started, depending on how you look at it. The Fair-Isle-Sock is getting really old, it's been sitting there for a while.


I would say that's a major case of Singleitis. Today I am determined to do something about it, tomorrow I might start two more designs...so, sue me!

And I haven't even shown you the sock I ripped out and the one I started toe-up - till I decided that toe-up just disturbs my knitting-sock-order way too much and I don't really like it. I can do it, sure, but I'm not getting jiggy wit'it!

Your Career Type: Artistic

You are expressive, original, and independent. Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art. You would make an excellent: Actor - Art Teacher - Book Editor Clothes Designer - Comedian - Composer Dancer - DJ - Graphic Designer Illustrator - Musician - Sculptor The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary.

What's Your Ideal Career?

Mwahahaaa, I have a split personality! I have been working as an administrative assistant in supply chain management, as a librarian and was quite happy with both AND now I am doing the artistic thing. Crap, seems I am useless with these tests...

Whatever. The artistic career type has just finished another single sock. There are about five socks waiting either to be finished or for their partner. I hope none of them feels the need to found the SSA (Single Sock Anonymus) and invents twelve steps to make the second sock happen. Ha!

Fuzzy Marvel

I promised pictures of this a little while ago.


It's mohair, it was grown on Audrey's goats and after having a mill spinning it she dyed and wove the yarn. Just the right thing you want to use to cuddle up on the couch - which I tried last night. It's working and it was totally worth the splurge of the moment.


She really should attach a little tag that says "Hand made in Canada" - which, incidentally, is quite rare and, in my opinion, a statement in itself. A good one, don't you think?

Sadly the Socktoberfest is over, many thanks to Lolly for organizing the first of hopefully lots to come!! (At least I think it should be repeated.)

It started with a kiss wrap

It seemed like a good idea at the time. I feel the need to explain that it was quite useless and wouldn't stop slipping off my shoulders. So I ripped it all out. Mercilessly.

This is how it looks now:

I knit something for myself - and, moreover, I am wearing it. Never mind the goofy grin.

The debut appearance coincided with our knit thing tonight - which was entertaining and where one could find four socks, one mitten, three Clapotis (one finished, two in progress), two hats and a sweater on the needles. Not to mention the two gentlemen who bothered entertained Natalie with lots of questions. Damn, isn't the world used to us knitting by now??
