Like a dolt, I forgot to take a picture of these socks before I sent them off to their intended recipient. Luckily, said recipient is nice to me, and thus took a picture so I’d have one.

Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock, “Lakeview”
Purchased from The Loopy Ewe www.theloopyewe.com

D’oh!

I feel like I have given up on my blog, but I don’t think I really have. It’s just that my intended purpose for starting the blog was to post about my knitting, and I haven’t produced so much lately. I finished the socks I was making for my friend’s birthday, and am very happy with how they turned out, but I was a dummy and in my excitement I forgot to take pictures before I sent them on to her. D’oh!

Speaking of d’oh, I went to the 7-11-turned-KwikEMart in Mountain View yesterday. That was pretty cool. They’ve rebranded all the 7-11 things so now they’re all Simpsons-esque, complete with shelves of Buzz cola and Krusty-Os, and Slushees instead of Slurpees. Of course, I forgot to bring my camera, so all I have are memories and the Lisa Simpson crazy straw I bought. Ah well. It was fun.

I’ve been working on a scarf for the Harry Potter book and movie releases. Hopefully I’ll get it done before the movie, but I will be sad if I don’t finish before the book comes out. I’m 1/3rd of the way there though, so with the help of a bunch of DVDs, I’m looking forward to a scarf-producing weekend. Woohoo!

Oh yeah, happy belated 4th of July.
