The best laid plans of mice and men!

Between two evils, I always pick the one I have never tried before.
-
Mae West
Mae West was a funny lady, actually looking at pictures of her she makes me think of a blonde Bette Midler.


I have been choosing my evils, I am going to have a bash at a Pomatomus sock for myself, I figure being a thinking sock I will be so overjoyed with the making of it I will make the second one. Breaking the vicious cycle of the second sock syndrome!
Brilliant or what????

And thnaks to KGirlKnits, I had to have a sticky beek at a new commentors blog! I discovered the First Toe Up Sock Knit-A-Long.
Never made toe up socks before but I have seen some designs I would like to try, they have lots of helpful links so come the new year. It'll be toes up for me!

And a big thankyou to all who have offered up advice on what to substitute for Sugar and Cream, I am planning to knit a dishcloth or two myself. Now there is an evil, evil has a name it is dishcloth. Here endth the lesson!

Not that I have anything against knitted dishcloths they just seemed to be things other people knitted, like baby bootees.

I have decided I can put it off no longer, I will have to pick up the stitches along the sides of my Aran Earwarmer, it is getting ridiculous. I don't want to be starting Intolerable Cruelty (by the end of the month hopefully) knowing I have minor things like that snarling at me from the depths of my stash. Having said that there is the small matter of the two left mittens....

And the bigger issue of I missed the arrival of the new AntiCraft how could this happen???? No doubt more things to add to my never ending list. (note: this will be gracing something I knit soon! And on a more normmal note, this hat rocks!)

I got an e-mail from my secret pal, who is none other than the very wonderful Karen form the Spinning Goth! Yeah! Who not only has sent the most awesome presents, but also knew me before the exchange so is not likely she could be frightened by anything!

If I intend to get any knitting done tonight, I had better call it quits now. So many exciting things goign on! It's fabulous!

Suzi.

I want to comment on the previous comment but can't with out either being rude because it has got a real meaning or swearing because someone is wasting our time.

On my behalf , and actually commenting on your blog, I have to say there is no substitute for sugar and cream unless it is chocolate and cake.
