Knit the socks. Go ahead and knit some socks. You know you want to. They're very portable . . . knit the socks.

We'll find you and murmur hosieryisms while putting Louet Gems in your hands. We'll purr the joy of seeing patterns you want to test but don't want to try out on a larger garment or make another hat.

Resistance is useless.

Send it to me, along with your shoe size. I'll knit that pair of socks for you.

P.S. Is it my imagination or are they also wasabi almond colors?

I am a geologist and a geocacher. Shorts are not conducive to doing fieldwork or hunting caches in the land of ticks, mosquitoes and brambles.

I saw those baby Coronas in the store and thought, "what's the point?" Cuteness is not a factor I consider when purchasing beer! Your answers were very interesting, I wish I could say the same for mine (which I just posted). Have a great day and I hope you found some "fat" shorts! I've decided to just swelter until I can fit into my old shorts.

What if you put together a fund (sort of like Knitters w/out Borders) to help the Center, or accepted donations and created a fund for a hospital? Knitters are a generous bunch - I'd give some to help that out. You maybe don't need to do all of it on your own, you know?

I don't do shorts... PERIOD. Clothing shopping is so awful. Most of my clothes are 10 years old... when I have to buy things, I buy lots. Like who wants to have to go do the bra thing, etc. so, buy 6 at a time, then put 3 back for "new" later when I need to shop again. But I am so in agreement about skirts. And if you do the "broomstick" type skirts, you can buy them cheap, and they cover all. I get away with it, to an extent, by living in a cool climate... but when I have to do 'hot', I go for those nice baggy Indian pants; they fit a wide range of weight gain/loss. About the sock thing... we've discussed this, Abby. But your personally spun sock yarn will never work with size 2's... and you already know about that. If you are going to take it up, then think size 1's, or maybe 0's. I've already agreed to knit you some socks... I can't stand it anymore; I am about THERE: the point of knitting you "charity socks". I know your size! And we like the same colors... I have some of Janel's sock yarn in some kewl greens. Of course, I bought it for ME. Then again, you could send the stuff you just spun up? MINI beer? I mean, we have tons of micro-breweries here in the Pacific NW, as Amelia can confirm. I'm not sure how many are over by Port Angeles... but here in the island, we have 'em. But what is the point of tiny bottles??? Okay, I have to go throw together something for dinner. I can't get away with not cooking all weekend. With fuel prices what they are, we are staying home and actually working all weekend. Sigh. I haven't touched fiber for at least 24 hours. MUST. GET. TO. FIBER. TONIGHT.

Be strong- just say No to socks. Instead say, Hey Col, wanna knit some socks for me? Tradsies for handspun?

By the way--I tried on last summer's fat shorts and they're too small.

Am beginning to agree with Denny on the skirts--except I need to wear them with shorts underneath to prevent my thighs from bursting into flames.

Listen carefully...you WILL reach for the size 2 needles...you WILL cast on socks...you WILL love it...

You know it's only a matter of time, so you might as well jump in with the rest of us freaks!

I'd be grateful for the tiny beer. But after the faux heart attack last month (really bad acid reflux--so humiliating to go to the ER and go through all the tests only to be told you have heartburn when you really thought you were dying) I can't drink alcohol. Or eat chocolate. I've been buying a lot of yarn, oh yes I have.
