Hi there. I’m back. I’ve been back, and I’ve run the gamut from jet lagged, tired, cranky, unmotivated, and just plain lazy. It took awhile, but now I feel more like myself. Like a new self, even. The trip was fabulous, and I have a million photos to share, but (see above) I haven’t readied any of them for uploading yet. Eventually there will be a flickr gallery of it all. Probably.
I’m just so happy to be home.
Waiting for me at the Post Office was a package containing my fabulous Sockapalooza socks, from my very cool pal, Yan Tan Tethera. Everybody take a moment to go say hullo. Okay. Now socks.
Aren’t they pretty? They fit me perfectly, I’ll get a photo eventually.
She designed them for me too, how very cool is that? I love that she used a variegated yarn for the the CC.
The whole first week I was back I kind of only did the bare minimum of things I had to do. Jet Lag kicked my ass, and I slept a lot. I also knit like crazy. It felt good to be home and not obligate myself to work here, to just take the time I needed and get my head back on. It took an Ice Road Tuckers marathon, and a whole Sunday on the couch with my knitting to finally motivate me.
I’ve already finished this pair, but here’s a sock in progress with cat for you anywho.
I promise not to abandon the blog for so very long ever again. *Smooch.*
PS- I’ve updated the shop today too!
Wow, those Sockapalooza socks are amazing! And I love your stripy socks too. Welcome back!
Hi Julia,
Just wanted to let you know another Michigander loves your sock yarn! I’ve been watching the store for some “Muddy Waters” so I was very excited when at 4:30 p.m. there they all were. I had to wait for my husband who was lurking nearby to go to soccer with the kids @ 5:30. I quickly grabbed my debit card and SH*T it was all frickin’ gone! Too bad for me GREAT 4 U!! I will keep checking from time 2 time ….I still have the other 3 skeins from you that I should use 🙂 Thanks for a great product and quick shipments…Kelly
I am absolutely totally unabashedly in love with those colors.
