Isn't it cute so far? It's Cascade 220 Superwash, nice and easy, and it can be found it here. I found it on Ravelry and I really like it so far!I have a little problem. I really want to start a pair of socks but just cannot seem to bring myself to do it. I have the yarn, I have the books, I have the needles and I even have the guidance of many other knitters but I just can't bite the bullet! I dunno what it is! I think I'm just gonna have to do some more reading and getter done already. It's annoying the hell out of me that I can't do it. I seem to come up with excuse after excuse, in my own head anyway, and it's getting old.
Oh also I'll be going to The Point to see Ysolda this weekend! I was the one who told Alyssa, the manager, that Ysolda was coming to town so Al and I got two seats for her Q&A this weekend. I know a lottery was held for the other seats so I'm looking forward to meeting Ysolda and a bunch of other knitters this Saturday night. Hopefully before then, I'll have something new to post a photo of. Like socks. Stop rolling your eyes!

Love the hat and the color! You've GOTTA knit socks!!! Try a pair of anklets to begin with - really quick and easy.
nice! i might do that on socks! don't fear the sock! judy's magic cast on, magic loop, toe-up, short row heels; very fast and easier than 4 DPNs and gussets and all that. been knitting over 28 years & discovered this way last year. will never use DPNS for socks or hats again! (can use magic loop for hats too!)
I felt the same way about socks! Now I think they are really fun! You just have to do it! You'll find out you will like doing then!
Look woman, if you don't get your sock on, I might come up there and beat you with some DPNs!
Weren't socks what got you started rediscovering knitting? Didn't your loverly best friend (ahem) send you a sock book for Christmas. Get to stepping Yo!
I love that hat!!!! The ribbing on the bottom looks great with the cables, and that yellow really suits that chunky yarn style!! Beautiful! I'll have to look up that pattern :)
Have SO MUCH fun at your VIP seat during Ysolda's visit... I'm imagining that your seat will have VIP on it... because it should... take pictures!!!
Good luck with the sock motivation :) People have been telling me that my knitting skills are ready to try socks, but I haven't been up to it. Make YOUR sock motivation will spark mine? Hmm.
