So the sock .... I'm finished with the cuff and ready to start on the actual leg pattern. If I ever pick it up again, I'll know where I am!
I've been working on a couple of little guys from Creepy Cute Crochet - another grim reaper, a cthuhlu, and a "Day of the Dead" guy, requested by my best-friend-since-6th-grade. I'm actually almost done - I have to do eyes, a scythe, and a jacket for the DotD guy. Yay, I might actually finish something!
I found a pattern for a really neat hoodie last night. The link is saved on my home computer and I'm at work, and I don't remember what it's called or the name of the yarn used, so I can't post it here. But it's really neat! It has bell sleeves, with the trim and a vertical "stripe" up the middle of the sweater done in seed stitch. I'm thinking it would be awesome in Knitpicks Wool of the Andes, navy or oregano. And my husband was totally cool with me spending $50 on yarn, provided I actually finish the sweater. Therein lies the rub ......
In non-knitting news, I finally gave in and read the Twilight "saga," (is it really a saga if the whole thing takes place in the span of 2 1/2 years?) known in our house as the Teen Vampire Mormon Porn (because romance novels are porn for women). In about 3 days. The plot is ludicrous and gets more and more so the farther your progress in the books, and the dialogue is terrible, but I was obsessed anyway. I suppose it could be argued that the plot to Harry Potter is pretty ludicrous, too, though maybe executed a bit better. But ... I was obsessed anyway. My only regret is that when I let my brother-in-law's girlfriend borrow the books, I didn't have a brown paper bag on hand to wrap them in.
** Edit**
Here's the linky to the sweater!
