Oooh! Look at me go with the no-picture-be-havin’ post YET AGAIN! The suckfulness is so over the top! Yay me!

Anyway. Picture if you will a sock. There you go. That’s what I’m making. Just like that one.

No, I’m kidding. It looks nothing like that. Seriously. The yarn is Trekking XXL that I got on the Salt Spring Island trip. It’s dark, it’s tweedy, it’s not stripey and I’m thoroughly enjoying working with it thus far. The pattern is… uh… some foo-foo thing out of Nancy Bush’s new book It’s one of the patterns that was originally for a child’s sock. The sample in the book is the mostl lovely purple. Mine is not purple, but I’m liking it anyway. And omg but I love Nancy and her well-written patterns. Yes indeedy.

I also just bought this one:
because Kim had it and OMG it was SO much cooler than I thought it was going to be just from looking at the cover (yeah, yeah, we’ve been over that. I judge books by their covers and you can just get right over that). DAMN cool book.

I will duly endeavor to take some pictures of stuff this weekend. And post them. ‘Cos I know I’ve been a slacker on that front of late.

Any of you jonesing for a road trip to Portland next week? Speak now! I know the way to Woodland Wool Works….
