Froot Loopy!

Yay for camera phones! Even older ones--mine seems like a dinosaur at a respectable 4 years old. The DH has our digital camera right now, and I am so excited about this sock that I couldn't wait until this evening to post. Ancient camera phone to the rescue!

I cast on the Froot Loop sock yesterday to keep me from going to insane between sneezing and coughing up a lung. I hate colds. I always go so stir crazy not being able to go anywhere or do anything.

Okay, back to the sock. I love knitting it, even on the Sockotta, which surprised me a whole lot (I tried the Sockotta for a different sock a while back, and the yarn was much less than what I had expected). The colors are fun and the stripe pattern is intriguing. I know, I know, I'm gushing, but I love this project so much!

blog what?

Acho. Honk. Sniffle sniffle snork. HONK.
That is what I've been sounding like for the past few days, and even though my nose is running away and my head is foggy and stuffy, I did make it off my kiester to write that I haven't been writing.

I do have a tendency to bite off a bit more than I can chew, and to start projects and not finish them. I admit it fully, and embrace it.

That being said, hi blogosphere.
I do exist. I might not be visible all the time, but I do exist.

Things have been going well down at my shop. This past weekend was Arts Alive, and it was the most successful Arts Alive to date! (Arts Alive is a monthly reception where stores and galleries stay open late with lots of wine and cheese and local art--a way to get the community out and about to see the local artscene.) Yay! And then I came down with a cold. Boo.

Well, now I have new sock yarn to play with. I picked up some Sockotta in a fun colorway, and I just printed out the Froot Loop pattern from Knitty.com. I am all set for a quite evening of Netflix and knitting! Well, quiet between the sneezing and the honking and the sniffling.

Man, it's not looking very quiet at all ;)
