![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.]

First, if you are a fan of the blue/purple swoopy thing on the foot socks, the pattern is out sometime today on violentlydomestic.com
Second, here are my green socks in progress with some bluebonnets because. well. because I LOVE bluebonnets, so I’m going to enjoy the hell out of them while I can!
And finally, because I was wearing them, here’s a glamour shot of my Linaria Bipartita Socks
This yarn (Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering) has pilled, but putting these on feels like snuggling happy baby bunnies against my toes, so I don’t care.
Ps. To see what others are working on, check out:

Swoopy thing is awesome! Do want! Thanks for the heads up.
You’re most welcome. Enjoy! This one was a fun knit! :)
Swoopy.
That is absolutely a new word I will run in the ground.
Swoopy.
I love it.
And those socks? Pure awesomeness.
Thanks! You’re swoopy.
Beautiful socks AND flowers! Knitting + Plants = My Favorite Kind of Post. I’m sorry the Plucky pilled. That’s a bummer.
Thanks!! me too.
eh. It wasn’t surprising. They feel divine. :)
The socks are scrumptious! And, your scenic backdrop for this photo shoot is gorgeous! And, you’re brave to lay your socks on a barbed fence; the things we do for blog photos! :-D
Yes, so far, I haven’t had anything too terrible happen whilst trying to get photos. But the year is young. :)
Bluebonnets!!! And your socks are beautiful! I haven’t made a pair of socks yet. I have too many sweaters in my Ravelry favorites. :)
I never thought I’d make socks and now I’m totally addicted (almost typed addictive. Yes, I’m addictive. Be addicted to my blog. You are getting very sleepy.)
LOVE the socks and flowers! I don’t blame you for enjoying the bluebells! Don’t all socks pill/felt eventually?
Thank you! :) There is pilling and then there’s Pilling. I don’t mind either when it’s expected. The unexpected things are what get to me (I’m looking at you, Lorna’s Laces rainbow yarn that bled all over yourself).
Those socks are fantastic!
Thank you so much! :)
So many socks! I’m jealous of your sock drawer.
oh, you! My sock drawer is jealous of your Blue Moonstone socks. :)
oh what awesome socks! Love them
Thank you bunches! :)
Such pretty pictures and I love the socks. you have inspired me to go beyond knitting striped socks!
I envy your knitting ability so much. (I can knot that stuff up like nobody else…but not intentionally.) Your socks are beautiful!
