maybe not doomed

I have a victim!!  I heard back from my victim twice removed last night and I will be shipping out the socks today, as soon as they are dry.  With all the whoha I decided to go ahead and wet block them, so they are drying right now but as soon as they are dry [...]

doomed

I have finished the Socks of Doom, actually I finished them last night. 

pattern: International Sock of Doom
yarn: Regia 6ply Crazy Colors
needles: Clover Bamboo US5
cast on: September 23rd  cast off: September 27th

put the needles down and step away from the knitting

Apparently, I am to stupid to be allowed to knit.  I am attempting to knit up Quinn; a beautiful cabled bag with wonderfully written directions, which I am unable to read.  Quinn starts out by knitting a top band then picking up stitches around and knitting down.  I have now knit the top band twice [...]
