![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!!!!

Step 1. Obtain pattern.
Step 2. Knit first sock to the toes.
Step 3. Realize you did the wrong decreases on one side of the sock and they don’t match.
Step 4. Drop stitches to see if you can pick them up.
Step 5. Decide that you don’t care if you can pick up the stitches, it won’t look as good as if you reknit AND this pattern is so much fun to knit, you just rip back to the heel.
Step 6. Realize you never rip that easily. The movie you’re watching must be THAT good. Also realize that if you’re going to reknit the foot, you’re going to have to stop just watching the movie and actually knit.
Step 7. Knit foot. Decrease for toes. Graft. Voilà!
No, this is not an old photo. It was taken 1/7/2014 - I haven't taken my tree down. I don't know when I will. It's pretty.

It’s very pretty–both the tree and the sock!
Thanks! Tomorrow is Jan. 15 and the tree is not coming down anytime soon. whee!
Love the color of that yarn! Why have I not seen it in person yet? How super secret is it!? The swooshy toes look great. Those are going to be fun to wear.
Why am I not at all surprised your tree is still up? Oh yeah, because you listen to Christmas songs in August….that’s why!
I generally skip January for listening to Christmas music, but this year….Christmas ALL THE TIME. :)
