Another crazy sock knitter

I cast on for pomatomus. It's the only thing I could think of to balance a hard day that includes a new head cold and some uninteresting-to-you challenges at work.

Yarn: Katia Mississippi
Color: 778 (it's olive green)
Needles: Vintage Phildar size 2 double points

I didn't check the gauge! I just started knitting! Ha ha ha! Take that!

SIDENOTE - Where did September go? Have you seen the calendar lately?

    Good luck on your pomatomus. I don't check gauge, shame, shame. It has bitten me before, but oh well. I noticed that about September, too. It's over half gone!

    I started the Pomies but my yarn wasn't having it so I frogged and never started again. Now that I've met my new best friend Sir Majic Loop, I may have to try again. But I just finished the Baudelairs which were a really big challange so maybe I'll do a little stockinette before I try the Pomatomus again. Whew. I said a lot huh? See what happens when I don't comment for a while.

    Happy first day of Autumn! How do these things happen?

    I want to do Pomotamus in some gorgeous Cherry Tree Hill but I'm compelled to do Eunny's Bavarian Twist socks. If only I could actually get to the sock yarn (houseguests lead to unsearchable garage space).

    Did you figure a way to ship the fleece?

    We noticed that September is slipping away, but mostly just because we are leaving for a trip (on a plane) to Boston the first week of Oct. And of course, the girls hvae been waiting (none too patiently) for Oct 3 cause the Little Mermaid comes out on dvd then.

    Good luck on the new knitting! I've been sewing and needle felting to ease the stress here.

    yeah this sock pattern is half fun and half torture. And fleece update very soon...

    gurlpurl! You are a tease! We don't have a good fiber show in LA. Jealous. I'd love to go there with you. PS got a really nice card from Kerry! So sweet.
