her newest WIP Wednesday offering, Wendy D. Johnson’s Catnip Socks in Araucania Ranco Multy. Terrible picture, TAAT socks just starting out look weird, I think, but here they are anyway. Josie and the Catnip Socks

No, that’s not a tiny bra, it’s Catnip toes.

warp seems to have occurred, since I’m absolutely positive that it’s at least midnight and the my workday should be over, but my computer insists that is only 4:48 pm. Unfortunately, I must stay here at work another 45 minutes. I’m having yarn fantasies; Must.Hang.On. I can do it! 8:41 pm, I did it!

up to another vice – shoes. Any shoes, boots, sandals, pumps, running, flats, wedges, stilettos, strappy, oxfords, loafers, thongs; I love them all. I’m confessing this at this time because I received my latest acquisition last night, a pair of Chaco sandals, which I might add, are mindblowingly awesome and I can’t wait another minute to share

I’m told that admitting you have a problem is half the battle. : p There will be others posted, trust me.

Still plugging along on the Celebration Socks, heels turned and in the home stretch on the leg. They’ll be posted tomorrow for WIP Wednesday. I’m still not crazy about them, but I’m motivated to finish them, just so I can start yet another addition to my sock wardrobe. Any ideas?

to be anywhere besides where she is, which is at work. Swear, the clock says 4:44 p.m., but my body says midnight, at least. All I have to do is hang on for another 45 minutes.

I did manage some legwarmer photos and decided to have the WIP one share the stage with her big sister, the FO. OMG, am I actually assigning gender to a knitted item? Now that’s odd, even by my standards. Here they are

defeat, frogs back the entire Eternal Legwarmer and starts the whole thing over, clean slate and all that. Here’s what I have so far

Only 15 inches (more or less) to go and it gets on FO Friday, but until then, it’s WIP Wednesday. Might as well laugh.

I thought I had an appetite for destruction, but all I wanted was a club sandwich. Matt Groening (1954- )

warmers will be an eternal work in progress. At least I have a post for WIP Wednesday. So, without further ado…….
