Socktoberfest!!!

buttons snitched from http://lollygirl.com/blog/?cat=73 Couldn't decide which one I liked best, can ya tell?

aka: Stop whining, Melanie, and start knitting!!

Yeah, I know, my whining's legitimate; I'm not actually being hard on myself. But the timing on this idea is perfect. Socktoberfest is the brainchild of http://www.lollygirl.com/blog/; it's not a contest, just a celebration of socks. I have the 2nd Thuja on the needles, as well as a twisted-stitch pattern from the Knit Socks! book, and these are only my 2nd and 3rd attempts at the evil fun that is socks, so why not give myself a little more encouragement? That button made me laugh, since I've had to stop drinking altogether; it's like TPTB saying, well, knitting's better for you anyway! And I'm always up for another reason for my Lil Sis to shake her head at me :) (Oh, speaking of which, Miss M, check out the new button on the left! snitched from http://somecallthemsticks.typepad.com/)

So pick up your dpns and celebrate Socktoberfest!
