Pink sock one
All but the grafting is done.
I can hardly wait to knit up the second sock and start wearing them. I'm not sure why, but at first, I was afraid the sock would be too big and end up slouchy. But it seems to fit just fine. (Maybe my leg fluctuates?)
I still have a lot to try to knit through before the end of the week, to meet my goals. I dont' think I managed to learn anything new this month :(
Finger is coming along. And there just isn't much to watch on TV! I tried reading a book that I got from the library - couldn't get into it. Just a new series/author I was going to try out. On some of the forums and/or groups I'm in, people will discuss books and book series they are reading. Some sound good, so I give them a try. Sometimes, that is a good thing, and I find a new author to follow. Other times - just can't seem to get into them. I'll sometimes give the books a second try in the future, since a lot might depend on my personal mood at the time. But this is one that I think just doesn't appeal. Called Dark Spell.
So - I know, another short post. Time to get off my butt and do some "blog fodder" research; start looking for ideas to talk about. I guess I don't have to - I mean, I'm not trying to turn this into a forum or discussion or controversy site. But it is someplace for me to sort out my feelings and ideas on a topic. As well as share cute animal stories and share pictures and trials and tribulations of my knitting and crocheting and other crafting. Yes, that is right, I do other crafts as well. I quilt. I needlepoint. I tat. I do latch hook. I spin. I play around making some jewelry. I sew. I quill. I do plastic canvas. I paint. I draw. I cross stitch. I do a lot of things - woodwork, carve, sculpt...
I just do some things more than I do others. And I guess because it's the one I learned first, knitting tends to be the one I do most often and is my first love. But I also learned latch hook, embroidery and weaving from my mother way back when.
Maybe that is what I can try to do before the end of the month - learn/practice a new skill in another of my crafts.... (I *have* been planning to get into needlefelting, or practice my spinning..... - read an article about recycling yarn from sweaters in the current Spin-Off, and they mentioned plying two yarns reclaimed from sweaters to make a bulkier and interesting coloured yarn - to me, that sounds like a good way to get in some wheel practice)

I think you are using your blog just fine... It is all for you, and we/I just enjoy the little peak into your life.
You are my kind of woman! I have quite a few hobbies my self, and like you, some get more easily attention then others, but I enjoy all of them. And that is the most important part, isn't it? That is why they are our hobbies after all.
I must have missed the current issue of Spin-Off. Hmm I might have to try to track it down, because that sounds like a very interesting article, and like you say, a great way to practice...
