SOCKS!

Socks are officially the coolest thing ever - hand knit socks, I mean, not the ones you buy at the store. I finished my first pair on Friday, and I felt like I had accomplished something huge... I know, they're just socks. My mom and my friend Sarah have dozens of pairs of socks, but still. It was so hard for me to get into sock knitting, and now that I am, I'm hooked. It's a good thing that between my mom and Sarah, they have the coolest sock pattern books, or else I would be on KnitPicks buying obscene numbers of books...

Anyway, here thay are! The Uptown Boot Socks:

They fit perfect, and they are soooooo comfy! I'm afraid they're going to get worn out very quickly!

Beside socks, I've been working on my Central Park Hoodie. It's going very well, I'm really loving the pattern and yarn! I've got most of the back complete, and will probably be starting on the sleeves next week!

I'm going to go take a nap now...I got called off of work so far tonight - THANK GOD. I had greasy McDonalds for breakfast and it did not agree with me! I was up this morning at 11 with a stomach ache and nausea, and then, when I finally got back into bed, the kids next door decide to start screaming and banging on the walls. I seriously considered slamming on the wall right back. Or maybe I'll just so that at 3am and see how they like it!

Anyway, I'm off to snooze land - pray that I get the whole night off work, k?
