![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!!!!
[ID: Veggie rosemary bagel and tuna salad sesame seed bagel with a purple hat in progress.]

I just finished reading The Selection and The Elite by Kiera Cass. These books were quite a bit better than I expected. The characters have some depth and there are political and moral dilemas. I do get frustrated with love triangles that go on for three full books, but what can you do, that seems to be the style right now. Here’s hoping Aspen imprints on someone else in the third book. (yea, I’m Team Maxon.)
In the meantime, I’ll be knitting. starting with these tiny green socks for my favorite 3 year old. Said 3 year old SELECTED the Cricket colorway (see what I did there). The yarn is Spud & Chloe fine sock yarn (80% wool and 20% silk). I love the feel of it and I’ll be using it in future to show off some sharp cables and lace patterns. But, the crisp stitch definition is a double-edged sword because it sure doesn’t hide mistakes.

Ps.Last night, Sydney slept in my lap while I knit and watched Suits on tv. It was a lovely evening!

when my grandson was 3—he would only wear ‘grandma socks’….and we all know how a 3 year old can go through socks!!! that was a busy busy time keeping him happy……now at 10, he won’t look at them!! enjoy the sock love….it probably won’t last—-i’m hoping someday it will return!
This particular toddler kept trying to hand me my knitting when we were sitting on the couch. He might be a lifelong fan. One can hope.
Awe, I love puppy cuddles while I’m knitting. I think it’s as relaxing a hobby for my dogs as it is for me. It’s adorable that you had your little friend pick out yarn for socks! That makes them really special.
Yes, I hope he’ll be really excited to have my socks on his feets!
Love the green sock kick you are on. Love the goggie face even more! My dogs are to smelly and matted right now to cuddle. Hair cuts soon!
Well, the funny thing is that I was inspired to shop for green yarn for the basketweave or zig-zag Hunter socks and that’s how I discovered that the kiddo likes green….and after he picked this out….well, it had to become socks for him.
Aw, that sounds like a great night!
They don’t get much better!
I really like the cricket green!
Thanks so much! I’m looking forward to gifting these bad boys for sure!
