Uh, oh…

Uh, worsted weight yoga socks don’t r-e-a-l-l-y count as socks, do they?  Do they?

I finished Mrs. G’s yoga socks yesterday afternoon.  They were such a quick, easy project!  Using Silk Garden was fun b/c I got to watch the slow color changes.  B/c of that, they’re definitely fraternal, not identical, twins.  I think she’ll like them.

Speaking of year-end teacher gifts…I made some good progress on Mrs. M’s scarf, too.  It’s slow going, though.  That’s what I get for doing lace.  At least it’s on 6’s, not real lace needles.  Oy.

In other knitting news, I finally decided what the Silver Thaw that I bought from Webs wanted to be.  Gioia.  This is a belated bday present for my friend Michele.  This Gioia is going much better than the first one (knock on wood).  There’s something to be said for another year and a half of knitting experience, lol.

Got my Hip-Hop (color:  Be Bop) in the mail yesterday from Tiffany.  Yippee!  Thanks, Tiff!  It’s so soft, and I love the colors.  Now, to figure out what to make with 304 yards of a bulky thick & thin wool….

Carry on.  I’m off to my totally lazy day where all I really *need* to do is finish weaving in the ends on the baby blanket (time to watch a movie!) and bake Uncle Jimmy’s sugar-free chocolate birthday cake tonight.

    Those yoga socks are so cool! I wouldn’t say they count as knitting socks though…not because they are from worsted weight, but because they don’t have a heel or toe. I may take up yoga just to have a reason to knit a pair.

    Ok, I think maybe my next b-day I could use some Yoga socks:) I love doing Yoga Booty :)

    My friend and I do a yoga video at work every other day at lunch and love it! I can see results in my hips. I hope to buy the Yoga video for summer and see even more results in my hips.
