Before I forget....

This will only make sense to said baseball fans of the East Coast of the United States that have a preference for the color red, or a preference for navy blue....


SSSSSSSSSWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I like navy blue, myself!!

If I had a caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaable.........

AKA Three Down, Five to Go

Done! I don't know why it feels like I've been knitting these forever, because I know I haven't--wait I do know--baby gifts got in the way. More baby gifts will continue to get in the way. Babymama gifts will get in the way! Didn't I say I was gonna tone down the holiday knitting last year? I know I did...

That being said, the Cable Rib Sock:


here's a detail:


Done in Knitpicks Essential Sock Yarn, Fawn color--these are for one of male friends--fortunately for me the majority of said xy chromesome friends that I have are not builts like Yeti, and have small xy chromesome feet. Said feet are similar in size to my big boat feet--no sneaking of measurements necessary! The yarn is surprisingly good--at least I like it. Good man-sock yarn to be sure--

Time for the next pair--Christmas is HOW many days away?

Time for a Moose Call:

Two Down, Six to go......

Uptown Boot Sock for the knit-a-long. This is actually the second one I've made--I like this sock very much!


The yarn is Lime & Violet in Leandre the Escapologist--if you really look at the yarn, it's doing some neat, painterly stuff:


I don't think I'll ever get tired of varigated yarn--that being said, the Cable Rib Sock is next on my list:

in Knitpicks Essential Solid, Fawn color. It's a man sock, and the man who's getting it is not the varigated colorway sort. Besides, my brain needs a color reset.

Make 'em PAY!!

Gonna hit A-Rod because your players get easily distracted by shiny objects? Fine. Be that way. See how many bigshots are so willing to come up in the 7th inning, which also happens to be Roger Clemens' l ast inning of the night. And he has a nice, big lead.

F@#$#@$%^%$ jerks. Serves you right!

Knitting Along

Ladies and gentlemen, the reason for this blog is not my desire to be chatty (I'm about as chatty as a Cigar Store Indian), but to join Knit-a-longs--I have a laundry list of laundry to knit, and need a little motivation to get it all done!

This is for a book that I bough probably about a year ago, Favorite Socks--I love this book, and now that there is a KAL to go along with it.......Christmas ho!! One pair down, seven to go......

Antique Lace Socks


Next on the hit parade? Uptown Boot Socks:


Socks are good.

I hate Kyle Farnsworth. I hate him I hate him I hate him.

I want Scott Proctor back.

That is all.
