My dad got me coffee at Peet&#8217;s and a bagel.<\/p>\n<p>You guys know how much I like Starbucks, so it ALMOST pains me to admit that the coffee at Peet&#8217;s is superior&#8230; though Starbucks has better &#8220;junk&#8221; drinks, like the white chocolate mocha.  Mmm. Anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Now, though, I have been sitting around winding yarn and watching Court TV*.  Yesterday I finished the Kaffe Socks:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Finished Kaffe Socks! by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/2272846934\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a title=\"Finished Kaffe Socks! by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/2272846934\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2287\/2272846934_789fd53dd4.jpg\" alt=\"Finished Kaffe Socks!\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They turned out really great and I&#8217;m wearing them right now.  I am pretty impressed with myself &#8211; I whipped them out really fast.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you have been asking about my Sock Project 2008.  Er&#8230; I am totally going to frog the January socks because they just weren&#8217;t fitting right.  But for February I drew Shibui\/Monkey &#8211; and already finished a Monkey.  Last night I cast on for the second one.  I will totally admit that it is not with the Shibui I was supposed to be using, but hey.<\/p>\n<p>Sock Project 2008: Where I just knit a lot of socks for myself with no particular rules? And occasionally follow my rules? Sounds good to me.  I&#8217;m making this up as I go along!<\/p>\n<p>And hey, the January sock yarn was Regia, and I just finished a pair of Regia socks, so I&#8217;m sort of half-following the rules.<\/p>\n<p>New yarn:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"STR by Pynnski, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pynnski\/2272057027\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2041\/2272057027_9332e3a045.jpg\" alt=\"STR\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Socks That Rock in (clockwise from top left): Pirate&#8217;s Booty, Oregon Red Clover Honey, Knitty Rocks, and Froggin.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m going to use the Froggin for the &#8220;earth&#8221; part of <a href=\"http:\/\/lollygirl.com\/blog\/project-spectrum\" target=\"_blank\">Project Spectrum<\/a>.  Right now it is &#8220;fire&#8221; and I have some Lorna&#8217;s Laces in, I believe, the &#8220;Flame&#8221; colorway, and I think that would be awesome, but I have to finish the Monkeys first. I think it would be cool to have themed socks for the elements in this version of Project Spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>At Stitches next week I&#8217;m going to look for other yarns that will fit the water and air parts of the spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like Mexican food.<\/p>\n<p>*I don&#8217;t care if they call themselves Tru TV, it will always be Court TV to me.<\/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\/2008\/02\/lazy-sunday\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not really &#8211; I walked about 3.5 miles this morning with my dad.
