Sock Crisis Averted

I got new steel toed work shoes that I am required to wear at work. I knew they would be hard on my hand knit socks and I wanted to experiment with which sock yarn would work best with them.

The first day I wore my work shoes I happened to wear my Yarn Love Limeade and Violet socks to work. Now these are made from 100% worsted weight superwash wool, I just happened to make socks from it. I threw caution to the wind and decided to wear them in my work shoes...BIG MISTAKE...1 hour later I had a huge hole in one of my heels...1 hour!!! I gasped as I took off my work shoes, my coworkers, well they tried to be sympathetic.

Fortunately it was knit night that night. I ran home and got my leftover yarn and the knitting gurus helped me fix my sock! It's not as pretty as it used to be, but it is so functional and it has been saved!!! Thanks Kimber of Kimber Baldwin Designs!

I'm in! I'm mhurst there. It is awesome! You should really check it out!

This weekend I started taking pictures of my yarn stash to import into my notebook and I realized that I have a lot of yarn...more than I realized. See
That is just the sock yarn, I haven't started with the wool or cotton yarns. I'm a little afraid.

I should start knitting more and sleeping less :)

I also realized that I am horrible about documenting and taking pictures of my completed projects. I've made a lot of stuff that I don't have pics of :( Hopefully Ravelry will help me remedy this.
