Sock it to me

So bad. Soooo bad.
I’ve been pretty busy this week. Went to the Stitch n Bitch (I totally dare SFSE to send C & D letters to knitbloggers) on Tuesday and had fun. Jamie bought me dinner and dessert for this web thing I’m working on with her. And I got all kinds of cool gifties from her too! I also got a bunch of fun gifties from Jocelyn who visited Artfibers to get my giftmas present. I am so super friggin spoiled. Oh, did I mention what I bought for my quitting smoking anniversary? I got a pound of thrums fiber (which is on super-great sale right now) from Spinderella and a city shawl knitting kit. The thrums are already here can you believe it?
Ok so pics..
These are the finished tweedy fuzzy feet before felting.

I felted them tonight because the in-laws were coming by. The photo is terrible because it was still wet and indoors with a flash but I wanted to show how the tweed looked after felting before they left. They did not even think this was odd. So this is the heel.

So they look pretty good. My fil loves his fuzzyfeet. LOVES them. And Cody told me tonight he wanted me to make a pair for him. this is the first time he’s asked for me to knit something for him. He’s just not a sweater or scarf kind of guy. But fuzzyfeet I can do. And since fuzzyfeet have become sort of my canary project before trying a new sock technique I’m going to do his on 2 circulars. Won’t that be exciting? I have no idea what yarn I’m going to use. I might even use the yarn that’s leftover from my other fuzzyfeet projects. Wouldn’t that be cute and interesting?
I love this sock. I’m getting very little work done because I keep just looking at the stitch pattern in awe.

You know how new parents are when they just can’t stop taking photos of their baby? I’m pretty much like that with everything I knit

I have good news, I’ve finally found a religion I can get behind.
There’s a music meme going around but since I did that one not too long ago I thought I’d just show the last few songs I’ve listened to
Wickerman - Pulp
Freedom of Choice - Devo
Time is on my side - Irma Thomas
Rollerskate - Call and Response
Calling Dr. Love - Kiss (heeeeeeee)
Mary Susan - Blood on the Wall
Deceptacon - Le Tigre
You never even called me by my name - David Allan Coe
Don’t make me over - Dionne Warwick
This city never sleeps - Eurythmics
(I can’t get no) Satisfaction - Cat Power (her new album kicks ass too)
And finally I need to get something off my chest. I’ve become addicted to Dancing with the Stars. I tivo and enjoy both the Thursday and Friday night episodes. And it’s all Beverly’s fault. It’s also her fault that I’m trying to get Cody to take me to see Pam Houston read at Bookworks tonight.





OOOOOH pretty spinning. Dancing With the Stars is very big at our house. Isabella is quite the cha cha girl
we should start an albuquerque chapter!
He, he. I look innocent, but really I’m evil! The handspun is BEAUTIFUL! Whatchya gonna make?
Yay! You blogged my presents! I’m glad. I totally love my fuzzy feet, just like your fil. They are soooo warm! And soft! And comfy! Cody won’t know what hit him!
And I’m a huge fan of Dancing with the Stars, too. That woman that said “this one is for the girls in the ‘hood. Motherhood” made my brain turn over a little bit last week. But seriously, no one this year can hold a candle to Evander Holyfield.
I give a big AMEN for the church! Hey, we could get tax-exempt yarn for the church! AWESOME!
Your Jaywalker is stunning! When I saw it at first, I thought it was a hedgehog sock - an optical illusion with it being on the white background, making it look prickly.
