Sock

I purchased the coolest self patterning sock yarn from my lys a few days ago and have been completely obsessed with making the perfect sock with it. Unfortunatly I chose the wrong pattern and have switched to the still cool, but not as cool, striping sock yarn. I just finished turning the heel today and am now working on the gussett. Yay me! They're going to be lovely to wear, if my mother doesn't steal them first. I'm looking forward to completing my first real sock, one that won't be getting tossed into the washing machine so all of the fibers can stick together. I've wrapped almost all of the christmas presents I have bought, now I just have to mail out 2 of them to MI, hopefully they'll get there in time. Next year I'm going to knit more gifts, but this year the resource for buying good yarn just wasn't there, so store bought gifts it is. Oh well, they'll live. Mom may end up with an IOU for the self striping sock yarn, if she likes it, if not I'm keeping them for myself. My aunt has been here this week, I've only spent about 30 minutes with her in all because of conflicting schedules (they go do stuff i don't wanna do). She and mom went to Disney on Monday and Tuesday, came home Wednesday (which was the day bf and I went to Disney), yesterday dad and I got mom's christmas presents done while she and my aunt went to the mall, then bf came over. Today they went out to the flea market and one of the state parks and then dinner. So I might get up early tomorrow and go see her off at the airport. And since I don't think I'll sleep well anyway it's not going to be difficult to get up. Especially if a shower isn't required. Oh well, I figure that's got me caught up with my posts, not that anyone reads them anyway, but if someone does....now you know why i haven't posted in forever, and I'm sorry.
