and here's what I got:

You're The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

by Douglas Adams

Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are
quite an entertainer. You've also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible,
often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble,
but it's shown you so much of the world that you don't care. Wacky adventures continue to
lie ahead. Your favorite number is 42.

Hmm, maybe I should read this book.

In other news, I am reading this amazing book called The Devil's Teeth by Susan Casey. It's about an editor who joins a small team of shark scientists on the Farallon Islands to observe great white shark behavior.

I'm really into this book. I keep having this memory of doing a book report in grade school about famous women, and I chose Dr. Eugenie Clark. Of course, no one knew who she was. I was always fascinated by sea life. For a while, I wanted to be a dolphin trainer :)

I tried the 2-At-A-Time Sock method, and the results were ok for a first try. I did leave huge holes in the sides, of course. Now Jeremy wants more socks. Of course, this whole 2 at a time sock thing was because of him. I hate making socks. I hate having to make ANOTHER one of the same thing.

But here are the said socks

Notice the huge holes in the ankles. My next try I'll be able to pay more attention to things like this rather than be distracted by the 40 strands of tangled yarn in my lap! I still have some yarn from my very first pair of socks, and I thought it would be interesting for me to make another pair a year later and compare.

I'm getting sick. I think it's the change in the weather. Sore throat, sniffles, wanting to sleep 23 hours a day... fun!

Jeremy and I were playing Yankee Candle tart mixologists last night. We mixed a Sparkling Lemon tart and a Vanilla Cupcake tart. Can you say "delicious lemon cake"??? It smelled AMAZING. But it was making me hungry.

I unfortunately have to gather myself for work now.

So I decided to be brave and try my hand at 2 at a time socks. I bought two different books: 2-At-A-Time Socks by Melissa Morgan-Oakes and Knitting Circles Around Socks by Antje Gillingham.

The thing is, I don't know what needles to get. I'd order from knitpicks.com but I don't feel like waiting a million years to get them. I might try some Addi Turbo needles which I can get at the yarn store up the block from my house. I tried on my Denise needles just to see what the hell I was doing, but obviously they are too thick and not flexible at all.

BTW, this all started because the boyfriend was whining about me not making him more socks for his big chilly feet :)

i knit stuff sometimes

so i took this quiz...
