Socks

I was slightly naughty this weekend and ordered two pairs of circular needles and a Cat Bordhi book so that I can learn how to knit socks. I need a portable project and I need something to hold my interest. Since I discovered that it is impossible to find two pairs of circular needles in the same size small enough to knit socks with in my town, I did what anyone in my situation would do and ordered it all through Knit Picks. I got the Harmony wood fixed circulars. I prefer wood to metal and I don't think I'm responsible enough yet to have interchangeable circulars yet. Especially when I keep having to move, I would be upset if I lost a piece! Anyways, this will be my first online order since the move, so hopefully it goes smoothly. It's a small enough package, they should be able to just shove it in the door or through the mail slot.

I'm excited because Sunshine is coming to visit this weekend and we are going shopping with my sister in T-town. I put myself on an allowance for this trip, but if my current trend continues, I have either had problems finding what i am looking for or it doesn't work/fit right and I end up returning it, so I should be okay.

My knees are still killing me from the stairs and all the moving this weekend. Unfortunately for them, it is really hard for me to be imobile long enough to give them a rest unless I am sleeping.
