Is it 6:00 yet?

I've been sucked into the Raven Series vortex and I can't get out until all 13 colors have been ordered. I'm not even sure I need that much dark sock yarn but if everyone else has it.. I want it! Isn't that how life works in many areas? I'm not a "keep up with the Joneses" kinda chick normally... but yarn is a different story. I am a follower. I need the newest and coolest sock yarn out there!  Just a few hours to go......

Anyone watch The Amazing Race last night? I am loving the goth couple. I need to know what kind of make up they wear because that stuff stayed on perfectly. I can do my mascara and eyeliner and within an hour I look like I've slept with it on and just didn't care what I looked like when I left the house. If you have a great black eyeliner you want to share with me, my neck of the woods would be very happy to see me with it on.

I had to share The Amazing Race with the finishing of my favorite sock on the planet...

I love it so much that I cast on for the second one as soon as the Kitchener Bitch was done. With as much TV as I watch you would think I'd knit a sock a day. We have three DVRs to keep up with the chaos. I have to say that my absolute favorite show, if I had to pick one, is Nip/Tuck. I wish it was on every day like a soap opera. I think they should do an episode about someone who needs plastic surgery because they were stabbed with a knitting needle. Wait, that wouldn't do too much cosmetic damage... I'll keep working on it.

Two things I love as much as Nip/Tuck are sales and sock clubs. The Thanksgiving shipment from the Chewy Spaghetti Holiday Club arrived...

I don't like sport weight yarn so this will eventually get swapped. The colorway is pretty though. It reminds me of a rooster for some reason. A punk rock rooster with blue feathers apparently.

My fondness for sales landed me another Namaste bag. This time I got the Executive in raspberry...

 

I don't really ever use my Jetsetter bag because the design sucks. The Executive on the other hand is FABULOUS! I got it here and used a coupon I had gotten in the mail. I think I ended up paying $35 for it. Go buy one before they are all gone. You will thank me later.

Now this next sale purchase today got out of control.. fast. Let me remind you that there was not one piece of candy handed out at my dark house on Halloween. Now I have more candy than I have handed out in the past five years put together. Target has their bags of sugary goodness on sale for 75% off. I will be slowly working through this until the time comes when I will feel no guilt for handing the stale crap out to the costumed trolls next Halloween...

   

19 regular sized bags, 5 jumbo bags and a box of peanut butter cups. What was I thinking? I'm going to put up a sign in my yard declaring another Halloween this weekend.. and this time I'm ready. The alternative is my husband finding me on the couch, melted chocolate all over my face, hands, yarn.. wrappers everywhere. It wouldn't be a pretty picture.

I'm going to have just one and get to working on my second sock. Can anyone eat just one?.. I mean really. Just as long as I don't go into a sugar coma before 6:00 it's all good. Then I can't make any promises.

I can't wait, I am just fretting over the Lightweight/Mediumweight conundrum.

Hope you got a bunch of good yarn! I was only going to "look" at the yarn, but ending up buying one skein of Grawk in lightweight. It was so hard narrowing it down to one!

You are a bad bad enabler...LOL I just got the Jetsetter bag too...at that price, how can you not? It's a lovely colour too.

[Roxanne]

Oops, I meant Executive...need more coffee!! LOL

Love the sock. That pattern is great for all the handpainted yarn you have. Hope you get the Raven yarn you want. I looked at it today and love some of the colors but I am waiting to see a pattern that is being written for the Laci before I splurge.

Oh my, yes can you believe this yarn. I have a couple coming in the mail right now.
I found you in Ravelry, which makes me feel as if I'm finally in the cool crowd. what is that?

peace...

I looked at the BMFA site all day and finally went for a walk! I want to see a few of the colors knit up before I dive in! The Chewy Spaghetti yarn looks cool! I love DK yarn for socks for my Hubby's giant feet! Hmmm... anything in specific you want to trade for?? And that is a lot of candy!!!

Wandered over here from SAM4 - awesome socks. The next pair I knit I'll try knitting all of the purl stitches. I knit a pair using STR & had lots of pooling. Perhaps next time I'll have better luck. I love the Goth couple too! TAMR is great mindless tv (and great knitting time!) Happy Saturday!
