I have finished one sock so far...it looks really good as it's made to fit my feet (I have very small feet for my height, and for a grown woman in general), though I have to remember to bind off loosely for the next sock as it took an almost herculean effort to get this one past my heel. It was a lot easier than I had imagined, partly because of this particular pattern I think, as I didn't have to do a traditional heel turn, though I did have to learn short row shaping. Not to mention, it's quick to make and relatively cheap too. I'm looking forward to wearing them when my extremeties get cold during the winter like they usually do. Of course, now that I've made the first one a little of the challenge has gone out and I'm going to be a little less interested in the second one, not to mention I am supposed to finish Eric's sweater, which at present consists of a front, back and almost a sleeve.

Am looking forward to going to asilomar for Lauridsen weekend. though I haven't started looking at the music at all. I've heard that it is not too hard, but still, ain't the best sightreader in the world. I think Eric is going to freak out when he realises that they don't have TVs at the conference center.
