my new goal....

ok, here's my new challenge to myself.... I'm going to make myself use up the beautiful yarn sent to me by past Secret Pals....and then post pics or, ok post as I go.... I've been a bit of a slacker in that department...I don't know why, it's all very nice and I like it very much. I think it might be that I've just been petting and coveting it (must. get. life.) and thinking about what it might like to be! yeah that must be it.

Ooooh maybe I should cast on a project from each of the yarns at the same time!!! eeeh that might be fun!


So I started on a sock from the hand died merino from the lovely Nicole H. And I chose the Retro Rib Socks pattern from Favorite Socks by Interweave. I like the pattern...but it distracted from the beautiful yarn colors, and the colors took away from the pattern. So, it just wasn't a good match. I knitted about 4 inches and ripped it out last night, I'll just stick with the basic stockinette and so far I'm liking it much better....what do you think?

I think yes....I like it!

In other news....It was a busy but good week! Well, busy as my weeks go I guess. I went with my DB to see 300 tonight. It was interesting....it was done almost like a comic book or something...but it was good for what it was. And does anyone else out there think Gerard Butler is hot? You know, Gerard "Phantom of the Opera" Butler! well...um if you do...you should go see 300...where we see alot more of ol Gerard....very nice.

Ok enough of that! I've got a sock to knit.

Happy Weekend.
