![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!!!!

I’ve been jonesing to finish these socks since Hunter Hammersen wrote “something may go swooping wildly about on the foot” in early December. There’s just something about a plain sock that isn’t really plain at all that appeals to me. And here they are. (right before they went in the mail to their photo shoot)
I liked the yarn quite a bit. It feels amazing and has nice stitch definition. I’ll be using Caper sock again, but I think I’ll go with a semi-solid. Black Tulip (purple), Dark & Stormy (ocean blue), or Carina (gray) or… maybe I’ll go full on crazy and give Alexandrite a whirl.
Yarn: String Theory – Caper Sock
Colorway: Beach Plum
Needles: 2.25mm Signature DPNs
Pattern: Aurin by Hunter Hammersen (COMING SOON!)
It's a bird, no, it's a plane, no, it's socks and a plane!

cool looking sock….jealous that you got to test knit it!! Love the last photo..such a great shot!!!
Thanks so much. I felt lucky to test knit them. The pattern is addictive!
So pretty, love the Jolie!
Thank you! Their true color was a little hard to capture. I think I got close. :)
Beautiful color…love them!
But I gotta say, those poses are the best…too great!
I love that you appreciate my Finished Sock Photo yoga pose.
oh man, another sock pattern I must queue! Love your socks.
Thanks so much. I can’t believe I used to think I’d never knit socks. It’s hilarious to me now. Silly me!
