A sock, it's a sock, a sock it is, it truely is!

My dd is adicted to Dr. Seuss lately, I swear I'm going batty.

The first sock of many I'm knitting for Christmas gifts (shhhhh!) Anyone who loves fiber arts, check me out at Ravelry.

Sockotta yarn color 6655, Yarn Harlot basic recipe, broken rib stitch (alternate K2, P2 with Knit all around for the 2 rows) The recipient's foot is smaller than mine, so this will fit perfect.

I've started bringing veggies to work and giving them to patients.

I haven't been knitting very much, but I do have one project in the works. It's this string bag in Natural Peaches N Cream. I would take it to the kids' swim lessons and work a little bit at a time. Currently, it looks like this

I'm supposed to do 12 stinking inches of the Turkish stitch, and it's taking forever. Maybe it'll be a Christmas present for someone...
