Can't.Stop.Knitting.

Finishitis continues... although I am slowing down a bit.

I usually always have a pair of plain socks going. These projects get finished whenever they get finished. Usually at some point when I feel like a lot of plain knitting in the round. I started these socks last fall I think.

And this past week, during my massive finishing kick, I finished them up.

The Yarn is Paca-Peds Heels and Toes by the Alpaca Yarn Company in Mixed Berried. Yes, it is a blend of wool and alpaca, and yes I will probably never wear these socks outside the house once I move to Texas, but hey-- I love 'em anyway. They are super warm, thick, squishy and and soft. Love them!!

I still have my monkey socks to finish up on the finishitis list. I am slowing down now, and I started a gift that cannot be shown on the blog at the moment because I was getting tired of the little needles and teeny sock yarn (when I started the gift it was like "ahhhhh- size 7 needles and worsted weight yarns! Whoopeeeee!") I am waiting for the swift to get here because I need to wind a mess of yarn to finish another project that I want to get done-- but lately I have been thinking about what projects(s) to start next. I am leaning towards a sweater, but not sure which one to start. Maybe I will launch into a crochet project. That might solve my indecision.

Meanwhile, I thought I would flash some Wollmeise 

These are from the last two sock club shipments. The colors are so amazing- I have yet to decide what I am going to do with them (I am thinking that the gold/red will become an Ishbel shawl/scarf) The purple is amazing. Frankly they are all amazing. I am going to miss being in the sock club. It was expensive, but so worth it. 

Next week I start packing. Mostly stuff that I don't need at the moment like winter clothes and books. This year's packing won't be as onerous as last years--I cleared out a lot of stuff last year and did not acquire much this year, so I just have to suck it up and pack it up now. I hear it is like permanently stuck in the high 90s in Texas now and it will stay that way until September.  Here in Ohio, it has been cool and in the 70s. I probably should just enjoy it because it won't be like that for long. I can't believe I have to start packing now. I cannot believe my year in Ohio is just about over. It seems like I just got here.

Meanwhile with my spare time I just knit, knit and more knit. Oh and watch basketball- Go Lakers!!!! (Remember- I am originally from L.A.)
