11:07 am - It's hot, so there must be knitting
Ahoy, there. I know it's been a while since I posted. Not that I haven't been knitting, but I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not a knit blogger. Most of what updates I have been making have been going onto Ravelry (User: alix), but that's just project notes and photos when I can get around to taking them.
However, I started writing a 'real' blog post about my evening last night, realized it was mostly knit content that most of my friends list wouldn't give a crap about and thought 'you know...I have a blog for that purpose'. So here I am. :)
( Knitting obsession: high, along with the temperature )
Maybe posting here will get me off my arse to photograph my recently completed socks, especially since, as far as I know, none exist out there as yet for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nathaniaapple's Stained Glass Socks....

12:13 pm - Bits'n'bobs & a new Bay Area LYS to patronize
Trying to keep posting here, even if the updates are short and somewhat unexciting. :)
In continuing to procrastinate on doing the mental gymnastics required for my father's socks, I continued steady work on the cotton crocheted placemats which are also destined for him. I zoomed my way through the third one and got a good start on the fourth one since I posted last week. I still have to go back and do two-sides of edging on #2 & #3 (and #4 when it's done), but I think that's good progress.
Yesterday, I finally sucked it up, quit whining, and sat down to figure out how I was going to turn the heel for the sock. Like many things in my life that I put off, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I'd made it out to be. :P I'm up to the gusset decreases, and it's now back to a project I can walk with.
And then as a public service as well as personal announcement:
With ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) purls_beyond and chloesparkle_fd quitting their previous jobs, going into business partnership with Sandi (my favorite knitting teacher of all time to-date), and together starting up their own yarnstore, Purlescence Yarns (), I will no longer be patronizing commuKNITy. I went there the first time because it was a new LYS to check out, but I stayed because of the people who worked there.
Now that the people I stayed for are no longer there, I have no motivation to drive the 25-30 minutes it takes me to get to the store--especially since Purlescence will have the people I went to commuKNITy for *and* is a lot closer to where I live (and work. Booyah!) They open on October 14th.
Given that UFO Night was Nathania's baby, I'm hoping they'll do something like UFO Night and/or Social Knits at Purlescence and I can attend there as I did before. So if you wanna see me and hang out? Hopefully it'll be there! :)
