![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!!!!

Finished the first Muppet sock (Vanessa antiopa Socks by Hunter Hammersen) including switching out the purled toe for a ribbed toe to match the cuff. I didn’t love the idea of a purled toe with this colorway – I do love the ribbed toe.
Then, I started the second sock. Wasn’t happy with the pooling (deja vu) – too much green all on one side. Frogged it. Started over.
These socks were going to be for my mom and I was worried they would be too small. They were a wee bit tight and it turns out that she’s not a huge fan of the colorway even though she did like the pattern. Luckily for me, Turtle LOVES the colors and they’ll fit her. Winning!

You’ve not done a sock yet I didn’t think was great. I love all the colors mixed in and swirling around!
Fabulous again!
You’re TOO sweet! wait. there’s no such thing. :)
Glad you found a loving home for the socks!
Thank you. ME TOO!
But is a ribbed toe comfortable? I’m a bit princess-and-pea-like when it comes to toe comfort :) That’s a very bright colourway … perfect with jeans!
I have some others with ribbed toes and I’ve never noticed a difference. Interesting point.
Everything goes with jeans! I like where your head’s at.
I think this sock is great! You seem to make them pretty fast!
I generally run about a sock a week if I don’t get distracted. The second sock is taking A LOT longer as I cannot seem to get the pooling to behave! may stick the yarn in the freezer.
love that yarn that you are using
I love it. except for when I hate it. :)
