Things you can't see

Shew. I feel like I've been put threw a juicer, or maybe a blender - cause I suppose all my parts are still here, they're just battered, not so much sucked dry. But I'm taking care of it, putting my efforts and energy where they need be, no more pussyfootin around, lolligaggin and whatnot. Huh? Yeah, that's what I feel like too. Regardless, things are beginning anew, like they do every minute, every day, every and c (which is my own little homage to DFW).

In knitty news, I don't have much. Well, that's not true exactly, I just don't have much to share here, now. I've completed the 2nd of what I hope will a evolution of only 3 of a project I'm going to submit to the fall Knitty. The first one had several problems, this one is almost perfect (and also for my mama's b-day) and the third will be the final design. Oooh, you can't stand it can you? Bwahhahaha says the evil blogging knitter.

I'm also most of the way through a tiny fancy bag for a friend of Little Bit's who's having a 4th b-day this weekend. She's quite the groovy girl and needs something extra spicy.

Oh, and of course there's Father's day coming up and I, dutiful daughter that I am -- Wait! Do not click to read the following if you self-identify as the father in question -- that means you El Presidente!

I'm making my pop his first ever pair of home knit socks, and his first ever pair of wool socks. They're 100% merino so they're deliciously soft. I cast on tonight, 2 sets of circs, size 1, 9 stitches/1" with a cast on of 76 stitches, increased to 84 after the ribbing. Yikes! They are lovely er...manly though, aren't they --
