I finished the lace part of my second STR sock and just couldn't get into starting the rest of it yet. I sewed up the bottom of the bag I made for my HSKS3 partner and then couldn't get into starting the strap. I'm tired, but not enough to go to sleep.
So I've been clicking around looking at yarn pr0n. I know I've got lots of pretty yarn I've not touched yet. I know I've got several skeins coming from swaps. I don't care. I want more! So pretty. ::yum::
I saw a place where you can adopt an Icelandic sheep. You can get a picture of your sheep and its fleece and even its fleece already processed as roving. ::moan::
And then there are needles: KnitPicks has started offering those pretty multicolored needles. Paula want some. Mmmmm, pretty needles ::drool::

Heya Sock Kit Swap Pal!
I have a question... after reading your blog it looks like you prefer texture stitches to colorwork... would that be a correct assumption? I was looking for stranded color work patterns for some green and silver yarn... but that would be no good if you don't like doing colorwork! I want to make sure you get well spoiled with the kit I;m putting together, so any hints about the kinds of patterns you like to knit would be great! Also... what size of bag would you like? Something just big enough for a sock in progress and its yarn, or something you can haul around a sweater in?
Looking forward to your answers!
Sincerely,
Melissa - HSKS 3 Pal

Hi Melissa,
I enjoy colorwork. I'm better at texture but WANT to do more color to improve at it. The bag I did for my pal is two color and came out much better than much of my previous work.
A sock-in-progress bag would be great, in that I do socks more than I do anything else.
You're really nice to ask.
Paula
