Robin's House of Fashion Disasters
Oh, the laziness! My parents left this morning and I stayed in my pajamas all day. Granted, I also did six loads of laundry and cleaned, so I guess it wasn't all laziness. I just feel lazy when I stay in pajamas (by "pajamas" I mean yoga pants and a t-shirt; I'm as well-dressed as most people in my old neighborhood on a fancy day).
This isn't a knitting blog, you know. It's a blog by someone who happens to knit. When I'm completely void of interesting stories, you get to look at what I'm knitting. It's socks. All the time with the socks. Did you know I have set a personal goal for myself to knit every pattern in Sensational Knitted Socks. I've already completed a pair for my mom and a pair for a friend from the book. Since the end of Boob-Ha-Ha, I've wanted to do nothing but knit, so I should be finished with the book sometime in 2014 instead of my originally-projected 2016.
See? I don't tell you people everything.
I finished yet another sock last night, in lovely yarn dyed by Rachel. Wanna see?
In my continued learning, I learned to not leave a lone, hand-knitted sock made with expensive yarn within reach of a three-year-old:
Legwarmeresque, with Velcro sandals and a bike short front-wedgie. At least I wasn't the worst-dressed member of the household today.

No, CJ, no! We must not go the way of the hippie with socks and sandals. Make your mother take you to the Creepy Crawl stat! Or have her pipe Joy Division's music in your room tonight while you sleep, and that should take care of those flower child fashion urges...

You know the term 'knitting' in my family refers to rolling their own cigarettes. And no- I'm not joking.

Oh Dear... So if I wear my fourteen-year-old Birkenstocks just to show off hand-knitted socks, I'm a hippie?? Oh, wait, the fact that I still have the Birkenstocks that I bought in highschool probably makes me a hippie with or without the socks.

I'm going to have to bring Clara Jane a teeny pair of Birkenstocks from Germany.
