true socktoberfest socks
In the true spirit of Socktoberfest, I finished my “Knitbrarian” socks.

I finished knitting them last night and sewed up the toe this morning just in time for the yarn store opening. The grand opening was quite a success, there were times when the store was so full, it made it difficult to move. It really helped that there was a write-up about it in the local paper this morning.I’m off to work on Bryan’s Christmas stocking. Hopefully, I’ll be teaching a class on the stocking at the store in December. I’m knitting this from a pattern that I wrote several years ago and I just want to make sure the pattern actually works.
Does October really need to end? I’m not quite ready for November yet. November means the craziness of the holidays and the dark nights of winter. And the end of Socktoberfest. I think we need a mitten fest or something. Well, on to other projects. For some reason, I always underestimate the time it takes to make anything. If all goes well, I will have Bryan’s stocking finished, a significant part of the Cider House Rules vest and the Rose and Wine Mitts completed before the end of November. Oh, I’d like to make a pair of mittens for Bryan somewhere in there, too. See what I mean about underestimating my time?

I know exactly what you mean! The closer I get to Christmas, the more projects I add to the list of things I want to make for people. It’s so frustrating. You’re socks turned out awesome by the way!

Erica! I miss you too! It has been too long, and I’ve been extra grumpy lately because of the weather change, Toby working nights and we don’t see each other, and most importantly I don’t like my job. I don’t think I can work for anyone, I think I need to work by myself and be my own boss–not sure how but work sucks ass.
I’ll call you this weekend to get caught up (I think I’ve got all my whining out:)
Your socks are way cute too!
