New CommentsWell, my comments were down all day yesterday, and were still down this morning. So, enter new commenting system! Hopefully this will be a little more reliable. :)I made some more progress on the mittens last night: (front) 
(back) 
So far, I think these will be really neat. Of course, I'll barely use any of my shetland stash up with them, but that's ok. Yarn doesn't go bad, right? And I see lots of gloves and mittens in the future, so eventually the Dalmore yarn will disappear. At least I like the colors! Perhaps at some point I'll order an assortment of other colors to mix in with the leftovers... but I'll wait until I get tired of these colors first. I've also been plugging away on the lunch sock... I would call it the "lunch/gym sock," but I haven't exactly gone to the gym this week. I'm not really sure why- I have been really tired this week... but I don't seem to be able to fall asleep much before midnight no matter when I get in bed. Hmmmmm. Perhaps I need to change my schedule around somehow so I get to take naps in the afternoon when I'm tired... wouldn't that be nice! ;) But anyway, lunch has given me some time to get going on another regia sock for a friend. She has really wide feet, so I'm totally guessing on the sock... I am using a k3p1 ribbing, so hopefully it'll stretch enough to fit ok. I think I might have to increase a few stitches before the cuff, though, to make sure the cuff will be stretchy enough. It's kinda nice to be back with a "mindless" sock project. I did quit the sock club, though- I realized that I've only really liked 3 of the 6 yarn colors I've gotten, and that I really could spend the money better on other things. Plus, I have lots and lots of regia and other sock yarns to use up, so I should probably hold off on buying more until I've used up what I have. And then I think I'll be ordering a selection of Lorna's Laces from Threadbear. MUST RESIST URGE TO ORDER NOW!!! :) After all, I do have yarn coming in the mail for 2 more chickamis... Cricket got pissed this morning because I wouldn't let her play with my mitten...
