Oh, sweet, sweet Koigu
Rachael was right, man. This stuff is like crack. I don’t know if it truly knits up fast, or if it just seems that way because I can’t bring myself to put it down. Here’s the progress so far on my Koigu sock.
And here it is without my leg getting in the way.
I’ve been allowing myself two rounds for each completed chapter on the proofread I’ve been doing all day. (It’s a gothic romance, and I need all the inspiration I can get to trudge through each chapter.)
Tonight was supposed to be Knitting and Pumpkin Carving Tuesday, but I realized yesterday that there was simply no way I had time to host such an event tonight. Between this proofread and all the work I have for school (including an oral presentation on Borges. I love Borges but I hate public speaking. Ack!)… well…no one is interested in the list of everything I have to do. I’M not even interested in listing it all. But I am really disappointed that I didn’t have time to play with my knitting friends tonight. I was looking forward to it.
The Koigu on work breaks is SOME consolation. I’m completely in love with this colorway. So autumnal. And the feel of it? Ay yay yay…if I could only knit myself a body stocking out of it…or fill a bathtub with it…mmmmm. I promise I wouldn’t wear the body stocking out in public. Well, maybe UNDER my clothes, I would. My little Koigu secret? Hmmm.
Oh, and for those of you on Friendster, I’ve discovered that not only can you reconnect with long lost friends and ex boyfriends…you can also come across high school (or college, depending on how much of a “bad girl” you were, and when) one-night-stands, flings, summer romance boys…you know those guys you…erm…kissed on the beach or at an amusement park or a class trip or whatever…yeah–that guy. Well, they’re on there too. Another story to be told face-to-face over coffee someday. Oy vey.
Dang, I’ve been so good at Not Looking, but now I’m going to run over to Friendster and punch in some names. Shoot. A little scared of what I might find…..

That Koigu looks gorgeous. No wonder it’s like crack. And such pretty feet you have! Please excuse me while I feel the need to go get a pedicure 🙂

OK, NOW you’ve got my attention! Let me guess: You have this “friend” who had a one-night stand…involving a beach and some “kissing”… (Are you really going to make me wait for a face-to-face coffee for the story, you big meanie?)
If we can get the Koigu donated by a wealthy patron, sign me up for the body stocking knit-along!

mmmmm…Koigu body stocking….yep, I know what you mean. Col’s socks were the fastest socks ever. I love the color play in yours. Y’know, back in the olden days people used to wear wool underwear.
The big evil ex-boyfriend is not on Friendster. She Who Must Not Be Named is. I’ll tell my story if you tell yours, wink wink.
