In which I dance around in craziness.

Things are simultaneously crazy and boring… how does THAT work?! I’ve got a bunch of things I’m trying to get around to, but i’m also very bored in general. So I’ve been knitting while I read HIPPA and Human Research Standards training presentations. As a result the Spearfish Socks I’m making from Gems Pearl in Charcoal are coming along very well.
I was convinced they would have to be for me (I’m the only one in my family who is willing to hand-wash socks) until I realized this morning that Gems Pearl is machine washable and dryable, so I’m modifying them a bit for a family member who may or may not read this blog, but who certainly needs socks :)Â But since all of my female family members have smaller feet than I do, it will make knitting them a bit faster.
I’m having some terrible trouble getting my patterns moved over to my online store, because the program really seems counter-intuitive, especially for downloadable goods. But my sister Sarah is helping me, so hopefully I can get it up before the end of the month, preferably even earlier. If anyone has any experience using ZenCart for downloadable goods, can you please e-mail me or comment or something?
Tomorrow, expect a Chicken Roasting Tutorial, as I will be roasting a chicken tonight :)

Fairy GodKnitter and Carrie have finished their Icarus shawls!
And Tina had a sad tragedy of running out of yarn, but managed to salvage it, and ‘finished’ her Mountain Peaks shawl. Go wish her a happy anniversary too :)
The shawls look great ladies!

Am I the only one who sees the irony in you getting frustrated with a service caled ZenCart?
Irony is the new Zen.

How do you like the Gems Pearl? I attempted a sock with it recently and was kind of disappointed. It kept kinking up as I knit–I’d have to dangle the sock repeatedly to get the twist out. I’ve been wondering if it’s the yarn, or my ballwinder.

Mmm. Chicken.
The socks make nice fence decorations, too.

Ooh, can’t wait for the chicken tutorial!
And I finished my Adamas last night! I have to blog it tonight, but I’ll send you a link once I’ve got pictures up.

Something about the way you photographed those socks reminds me of “The Blair Witch Project”.

I’m not sure I could bear to give up a pair of GEMS socks. :)
