![Years ago, I met someone at work. The conversation went something like this.
Me: We should be friends. Want to go to a hockey game TONIGHT?!?
Her: Yes?
I think she said yes because she was a little scared to say no. Coming in hot is pretty on brand for me.
She recently observed that in my romance shorts, my couples meet, connect, and immediately decide they are soulmates before living happily ever after.
And she was all “Wait, that’s kind of fast…but that is how Katie rolls.”
Thanks for getting me, @scottiegirly !
I hope you’re having the Friday you need, Crew! It’s a good day to check out Standing Together (standing-together.org) if you’re not familiar with them. 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. :)
