Oh dear, sockitude

[gwenynen]

Well, knirirr has been antsing after a sock with "a tight pipe*" for a while. When Sock Knitters' Anonymous September mystery sock theme was "orange", it seemed the perfect opportunity.
And it is a very tight pipe.
We could barely get it on. And it is even harded to get off.

Woe.

On the plus side, knirirr did some lovely honey and sesame seed glazed sausages tonight, with mash and balsamic fried onions. Not even the lid coming off the sesame seed jar and pouring half a bottle of seeds on spoiled it. Nom.

I just this second finished another pair for boyofbadgers (his last lot went in the washing machine and ended up twice the size, erk) and they are a bit big, whoops. But then again I did them without a pattern (yikes). Now I'm going to bloody well try that cushion again...

Without a pattern! I am way too chicken to do that. My latest pair of socks ended up enormously long because for some reason I wimped out of following my instinct rather than the pattern...

What is this "When Sock Knitters' Anonymous" mystery sock them of which you speak??

Not that I can afford any more obsessions, but, you know. ;)

I met someone at IKL last night who's doing a Mystery Shawl KAL that looked like fun, too.

SKA is a Rav group, that has a year-long "sockdown". This past month, there's been a mystery sock KAL with parts of the pattern coming out every Monday in September. The project is up on my page somewhere; I'll send you a SKA invite too, hold on...

Wait, I already am a member of that group. I just don't ever *look* at my Ravelry groups. I probably ought to, but there's only so much time in the day. Pleh. Feelin' kinda stupid now. ;)

I probably also ought to have checked whether you were on there, to be fair...
