Socks and Scarves and Spain. Oh my!

Well, exam time is just around the corner. And so is Christmas. And this is going to be a big year. Because I'm going to Spain!

My husband's job is sending him over for over two weeks, and I finely get to go with him. I'm so excited. It's going to make for great knitting time. I'm also hoping to get my hands on some nice yarn.

Speaking of knitting, I think I'm going to have to give up on my personal challenge to knit a pair of socks every moth for Ravelry's Sock Knitter's Anonymous group. I've manged 2 for September, one for October, and started on on for November, and I have till the end of December to finish them, but I'm not sure I'm going to do anything for December itself. But I have some time to make up my mind for sure.

As it is, I've also stated a scarf I really like. I've had the yarn for a while. It's really nice expansive stuff I bought back before I stated knitted socks. It's coming along nicely, but it is distracting me from stocks.

And studding. Which I should get back to now.

Remind me again, why am I not knitting?

In the Beginning

Well, it's exam time, and I'm taking on more stuff. No big surprise there.

I've never blogged before, and I really doubt anyone will actual read it. Granted, it is in cyberspace, so I will do my best to watch what I type. So begins my blogging.

Anyway, I'm a little depressed at the moment. I'm working on knitting my sister a pair of socks. My first pair of socks. And yesterday I had to rip them all out! I dropped a stitch in the lace and my smallest crochet hook was too big to save it. And I'm too much of a perfectionist to just leave it. So I began again. And I was half way done the foot in a toe-up, two at a time, pattern.

To commiserate, I did some stash shopping. I now have yarn for at least three more socks. Granted I can't start them until I finish my current pair. Such is life.
