Sockapaloooza & Taxes

I worked on my taxes last night. Mine and #1 Son’s. I don’t have all of the necessary stuff yet to complete mine, but I did have all of his. I don’t think he was too happy with the result. Alas, becoming a responsible, tax-paying citizen is tough.

In good news, today I received the info for my Sockapaloooza pal! I can’t wait to get started, and I already have some ideas. I know what color she likes, so now I just need to find yarn. Oh, gee, I have to go yarn shopping… :-) I already know what I think I’d like to get.

I’m almost done with the Vera socks. I have two pattern repeats and the ribbing left to do. I might be able to finish tonight, if I go home and actually knit!

When the Veras are done I have to start on a small project that I need to have finished in two weeks. There’s plenty of time! And then the next pair of socks is taking shape in my mind.

I’m really on a sock kick this year for some reason.

Spare me, however, the sensitive souls who deplore technological advance and economic growth over their cell phones on their way to the airport.
