sanity socks
heehee. I wish I was back here
Instead of surrounded by the madness that is packing. I’m not sharing pictures of that. You can imagine, then add more mess and you’ve got the idea.
My wee holiday was great, and look, me and my little cousin (ok she used to be little) match. Haha.
And Jim’s birthday funeral, wake thingy was lots of fun. This was an utterly tasteless fake funeral, sorry if I didn’t make the fake part clear in my last post. He’s very much alive. Riding around in a hearse with a living person in a coffin in the back certainly produced some interesting reactions. He even made it into the Sun, the Daily Mail and the Record. Haha. And the coffin makes a damn good coffee table, and in the end no one made me sleep in it, although that was suggested. I would have been ok with that, I like small dark spaces, but there were clips on the lid and I had no desire to be shut in it. I don’t think I’d be quite as good as Beatrice at punching through even plywood.
OOooh! Look what I just spotted. Sarah made an awesome stuffy from my pattern for her knitty secret pal, Christine, and her cat seems to adore it - isn’t this the best photo ever?

With a view like that I can understand why you wouldn’t want to leave!
That sock is looking fantastic. I can see how it would help keep you sane. I can’t wait to see it all finished up!

Love that sock. And your hair looks great - it’s a lovely colour.

I just came to your site b/c I’d emailed my friend to say, “I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll never be able to knit and I’ve taken up needlework.” This prompted her to send me the link to your illusion-skulls pattern, which just makes me loden-green with envy!! Why, why am I cursed with talentless fingers and an inability to count while crafting? To quote David Bowie: You little wonder, little wonder you.

Did you get a chance to get in the water? The weather is warming up here and so I’m really looking forward to going to the beach as well. I can imagine myself knitting on the beach, but then when I think of the grainy bits of sand in my knitting, it’s probably not such a good idea after all.

Oh…how funny re: fake funeral/birthday wake. Was your friend turning 30 or 40?

I am way to claustrophobic (sp?) to ever get into anything small… but that is a good prank.
Pretty yarn! I love the pattern.
