socks on the brain

How appropo, while I was online looking for patterns and yarn for socks for my sockpal, I saw that I had an email from my sockpal that I will be getting socks FROM!!  Yay!  She is getting married in 3 weeks and is in the process of planning the wedding--how exciting!  Magistra Socka :) if you're out there, I was very happy to hear from you!  Thanks for the email!

I have been searching and searching for patterns and I just bought the sockyarn to be from (drumroll please...!!) SOCKS THAT ROCK!  Yay!  I've always wanted to try this yarn, so it couldn't be a better time!  Of course I couldn't resist picking up some for myself as well.

This is for my sockpal...I think she will like this...

it is right up her alley!

I couldn't resist...and since I was on the site...

oooh how I love these colors and many of the others on that site!!

oooh boy!

OH! I finished the Razor scarf...it's blocking out in the living room to open up the bits of lace.  I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with it so far!  But, why is it that no one ever comments about the smell of wet blocking items?  P. U.!!!!  Man, the smell of wet alpaca wafting thru my tiny place...ugh.  I'm sure if I had a cat, it would at first hide behind the furniture, poking its head out slightly to see if a wet dog was laying in the living room...and if I had a dog, I'm sure it would be barking madly at it.  I did use my new supply of SOAK, so that was kind of fun...it smelled goooood!  Well before I pulled it out of the tub anyway.

I'll take some pictures when it's done blocking!
