GUYS. I know I've already told you to go read xlormp, but really for real you need to. Today's chapter is hilarious and almost had me shooting alfredo out my nose. I'm glad I didn't, because that would have been uncomfortable and would have had my coworkers giving me funny looks.

ANYWAYS.

Also, I have started working on my craft_olympics project. I finally got the correct needles last night, so I started knitting a swatch in the round this morning at break and I'll probably cast on For Realz tonight. Socks! I am going to knit socks! I was looking at the pattern, though, and man the heel looks scary. I've never turned a heel before! It will be a fun adventure.

THE HEEL IS THE BEST PART.

Seriously. I utilized the heel-turning technique in making the Xlormp doll. TRUEFAX.

Fear not, you can TOTALLY make socks. You have the knitting "chops", if you will.

The amazing part is that I RECOGNIZED the heelish part in Xlormp. Without ever having knit one.

I know I can do it, but it LOOKS scary on the pattern. Also I'm always nervous doing something new, because I'm so sure I'll find a way to screw it up. That's what makes it such an adventure.

I promise you with 100% certainty that socks are nothing but fun and awesome. :)

I loved the sock knitting and the heel was one of my favorite parts. It looked scary but when I did it I was so proud. Now when I look at a project that does the same thing I get excited and think I can do this!
