Obligatory Yarn Pron above. God do I love my new camera! The D40 probably would have been ok but I really use the LCD screen on the top a lot. The only reason I sort of wish I’d gone for the 40 was so I could have had money to get the Sony Ereader I desire.  I haven’t been knitting a whole lot since I seem to want to sleep the minute I start. What I have been doing is a whole lot of reading. 20 books in the past three weeks more or less.  Anyway a while back the most fabulous Mj put me on her make my day meme list.  So in No particular order here is my list. I’m limiting the list to people I actually know at least via IM or Ravelry or have at least had an email conversation with just cause while there are plenty of bloggers who I admire well they already made tons of peoples lists.

• Mj: Cause she writes amazing patterns and is smart and she knits fast. Also I love her styro head for hats. Also she is on im and always manages to cheer me up.
• Sarkasmo: She’s knits like the wind and I always admire her dedication to the highest form of humor.
• Yarn Abuse: Her photography is gorgeous and she is one of the funniest bloggers I read.
• Kraftie: She has a stash that’s even bigger than mine. She spins in ways I can only dream of and she’s a good friend.
• Shannon: She’s fun! She never makes me feel like a dork for frogging or for my occasional odd obsessions in the knitverse! And I want to steal her last clap! Also I’m too lame to have a podcast but she does.
• Mszzzi (knit blogless): She’s my good friend from back when I lived in Chicago. I wouldn’t even knit at all if it wasn’t for her. And she always makes my day because you can’t not be happy when she’s around.
• Shortrow: She’s local. She started me off on knitting. She’s tons of fun. I envy her mini. We take fun field tribs to fiber stuff. And she constantly reminds me forcefully if necessary that not everything needs to be perfect.

And on to the FO.

Pattern: I found the pattern on flickr and added it to my standard toe/heel combo
Yarn: Str Lightweight in Lenore
Needles: Kp size 1’s
Size: My foot 64 sts around.
Pattern Notes: I hated these until I finished them. The only reason I didn’t frog was I was shocked I hadn’t had any pooling. I think on the foot they look nice but off the foot they look like ass. I was also not thrilled with how the colorway knit up. It was the one colorway from the club I really thought I loved and for some reason it’s not that great. Perhaps it was a case of expecting too much.
Would I knit it again? Probably not. Maybe though in a semi solid.
