So, thanks to knitress and reading way too much of the Yarn Harlot over the last two days, I now want to knit socks. The fact that socks are vastly more complicated than anything I've ever tried ("anything" being Jayne hats and pantas) matters not. I want to make socks, dammit, and even though the Knitting Olympics are over, I can still embrace the ideal and challenge myself to try something new.

Luckily, I have no sock yarn, so I can't. Ha! Instead, I'm using yarn leftover from Christmas knitting and making hats for the Dulaan project (again, inspired by knitress). Last night I cast on this double-knit hat, except with worsted weight, because that's what I had, so it'll be child-sized. I knit pretty tightly, so I'm not worried. Once I figured out how to get both colors on, and how to hold them (thank you, Knitting Help!) it seemed to go okay. I can work on it while we're watching our Veronica Mars S1 DVDs (yay for Netflix!).

On a completely unrelated note (and not referring to anyone on the flist), I really, really dislike attention-whoring braggarts.

Really really really.

Really.

Oooh, not in public. Never know who's gonna read your bitching.

Yeah, I know. But it was worth a try. <g>

Now I never make it to chat. I wanna read it! Can't you just limit it to your F-List?
