![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!!!!

Bonita is a peach. No, not like a Georgia peach, more like a steel peach you’d want around if the zombie apocalypse happened because she’d be willing to let you wash all the cups while she sat on a roof with a shotgun. Now, my aversion to skin cancer runs deep (my genes are stacked against me), so I really value that in a zombie apocalypse preparedness team member. I digress. Bonita got me hooked on the Walking Dead, so I decided she needed some Night of the Living Socks. (we actually discussed who was going to wash the cups in the event of a zombie outbreak and I wrote our plan in my organizer. That’s how we roll.)
Prior to making these socks, I talked to Bonita about how many runs I should put in these socks. I said “We don’t want to have too many runs because that could compromise the structural integrity of the socks.” She said something to the effect of there being few things as important to her as sock integrity.
In other news, did you know lichens sometimes grow in gravestones? and once upon a time, Bonita had a job carving gravestones. Winning!

I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

Love that color! Are those zombies or zombie fighters attacking your socks!!! LOL
They’re action figures of a couple of cast-members of Walking Dead (one keeps a zombie on leash). The guy in back is Daryl.
Great added touch! Love the little zombie dudes or violent Ken dolls or whoever they are.
And Bonita…what a peach! And such a mess! =)
They’re action figures. hmph. :)
