![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

The Fancy socks for The Husband are finished! I’m much happier with the new toes (the ones where I actually followed the pattern since I had to rip back because I’d run out of yarn).
Before (on my feet) – seriously, do you see these toes?!?
After (on TH):
Pattern: Gentleman’s Fancy Sock
Designer: Nancy Bush
Yarn (main): Lorna’s Laces Solemate in Bigger on the Inside
(toes): Cascade Heritage Silk in 5631 (gray)
Needles: 2.25mm
Comments from The Husband: “Those turned out good. Nice job.” (This is high praise as he’s not yet a handknit sock cult member – but I’m not worried. I can see him walking towards the dark side and on his feet….are handknit socks.)
Ps. Check out what others have finished at Tami’s Amis and Wisdom begins in Wonder and Natural Suburbia

Great socks! Now you’ve done it, the road to the dark side is a fast one ;)
maybe the way to the Dark Side is more like a slide than a road.
Oh my….his socks are very handsome! I’m making my hubby a pair but won’t let him see these since his are just plain. LOL
What a lovely compliment. Thank you!
Those socks are great. I love them.
Thanks so much!
I love those!
Thanks!
The socks are very handsome. Not sure if your husband wants to be wearing “beautiful” socks. LOL
He likes them, so I’m a happy camper.
The toes worked out splendidly! I’m sure your husband is going to put these to great use.
Yes, and now, I have coordinating gray yarn to darn with.
Nice socks! I like the way you finished the toes; the color goes well with the body of the sock. As Kaffe Fassett would say, “It’s a design feature!”
yes! knitting as designed!
Congrats on the socks, they look awesome.
Thank you!
Nice looking socks. I do think once you walk around with hand-knit socks on your feet, you are spoiled forever.
agreed!
Gorgeous!
That’s very sweet of you to say. Thanks!
Fabulous socks!
Thank you so much!
LOVE these socks! Both the before and after. I love how they changed up toe looks.
Soon he’ll be converted to the must always wear handknit sock club.
I’ll have to keep ya’ll posted on the status of his conversion. I was pleased when he wore the first plain black pair to work.
Those socks are great, I love the gray toes.
Thanks bunches!
