Pirate's Booty Socks

Ahoy, Matey! 'Tis some Heavyweight Socks that Rock in tha Pirate's Booty Colorway. I bought this yarn from Churchmouse last summer, and once we moved into the rental house and it got cold, I knew what it would be: thick socks to wear around the house & keep my feets warm.


I used the ribbing pattern from the international sock of doom, but worked the sock itself toe-up with a short row heel.

when work attacks...

...or, if you prefer, where the hell did the last month go?
I know I had lots of work-related events and such to attend, and there were some visitors in there, but what happened to the past month?! (seriously...anyone have good tips on balancing work and personal life? I could use a few...)

I did find time to go to Bainbridge Island with my knitting group (and some gals from another knitting group) - got another skein of Socks that Rock (in lightweight; colorway is luna see -- the picture doesn't do it justice, so hopefully i'll get a better picture once this is knit up into socks!)

I did take a picture of the current sock I'm working on while on the Ferry...this sock has been to a baseball game, to Mt. Hood and now out on the sound...and I'm thinking of including the pictures in with the finished pair (seeing how they're intended for my mom as a Christmas present)


Oh yes, and for the record, the number of socks I completed for SOS'08: ZERO. not even a single sock. Maybe next year I'll complete a pair...
