Unfortunately I haven&#8217;t really had much time to DO anything besides house-related projects, but I did manage to work on my Spring Forward socks just a smidge:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Spring Forward Socks by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/3207097202\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3266\/3207097202_039fc2bb4a.jpg\" alt=\"Spring Forward Socks\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got the yarn at Stitches last year, and the colorway is Emerald City, but damned if I know what yarn it is, or the yarn content or what.  The ball band got lost in the move, but I do recall peacock feathers as part of the band design &#8211; if anyone can help me out, I&#8217;d love you forever.<\/p>\n<p>The socks are the ubiquitous Spring Forward socks from Knitty.  A very simple pattern that only LOOKS complicated, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also working on a replacement skull hat for my friend Sam, who lost his original hat in Florida or someplace.  I&#8217;m making a basic plain hat with black Berroco Comfort, then I will duplicate stitch the skull motif on in glow-in-the-dark yarn once the hat is complete.  Since Sam has repeatedly bemoaned losing the original hat, it is the least I can do.  I have a couple other hat ideas for him as well, since every time I see him hes wearing a hat I&#8217;ve made.  Which is pretty great, if you ask me. Heh.<\/p>\n<p>What can I say?  You show me the knitting love and you get more stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the craft room is full of boxes and nowhere near being ready to be used, but I have organized the den area so I have a nice chair to sit and watch TV in: it&#8217;s the perfect knitting chair with arm flaps that raise up and little compartments (like magazine holders kind of) on either side.  A family relic, I am pleased it has come into my possession.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to tackle UNpacking those 8,234,678 I was packing last time. *sigh*<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:30px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/melissaruth.com\/blog\/2009\/01\/settled-in\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I last updated, I moved to my new digs!
