Sheep On a Leash
I woke up this morning bright and early (on a Sunday!) with Korn's song Freak On a Leash stuck in my head. It's an old song - I do have the new version with Amy Lee, so I'm assuming that's why it was stuck in my head.
So I showered, dressed, grabbed some coffee on the way to the ATM which refused to give me money (!) and got on the T to meet bryghtrose and Patrick and head to New Hampshire. (Don't worry, we stopped at an ATM that did give me money on the way.)
I got the front seat and the job of navigator, there were muffins, and before too long we were there and contemplating how lucky we were that it was not freezing cold, pouring rain, and flooding like last year. :) Of course I brought my camera and didn't take any pictures, although there is one of me that I have to retrieve from my co-S&Wers.
Now back to the title. I had that song hopelessly stuck in my head to the point that I was actually singing it aloud (quietly) in public, the original radio edit version complete with the abrupt pause when they edit out a bad word. And then we started talking about cute little lambies and I remembered the sheep I met last year or maybe the year before - a very small pet sheep. A Sheep On a Leash. Bryghtrose was nice enough to join me in singing this new rendition of the song.
I bought a bit of blue sock yarn:
Left to Right: Van Cal Car Acres ~3oz, End of the World Farm, Ball and Skein, French Hill Farm's French Twist - none of them have color names
I've also finished two pairs of socks, as you can see in the count and progress icons. Here's a flat picture of the blue ones - the others were a test knit so I can't show you just yet.
Pattern: Lichen Ribbed Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks
Yarn: Peruvian Quechua from Elann
Started: 4/25/07
Finished: 5/4/07
I knit them as written in the book. I was a little weirded out by the strange heel and toe, but I guess the recipient loves them so it's all good.
On the needles now are *two* pairs of toe-up socks - one test knit and one for a sock swap. I don't even like toe-up socks, how did this happen?

Thank you. Thank you ever so much. For getting Sheep on a Leash stuck in my head. If you ever record this new version, I may even buy it! : )
You crack me up... more blue!
Goodness. That's even more blue than the MDSW haul. :P
I think Alison's blog title is more and more well-suited for your blog instead: blue IS for knitting, LOL!
i love the blueness of all that yarn! i have been stuck on toe up socks thanks to the inside out socks from str. normally i hate toe up socks. go figure.
I still can't believe you went to that deluge last year!
Every time I peek in on your blog I have this immense urge to cast on another pair of socks. That yarn is gorgeous!
Huh, blue sock yarn? Who'd a thunk?
:O
Wow....you really like blue...
