Silly, Silly Sock

This silly time-out sock is doing it's best to teach me a lesson. Not sure what that lesson might be though. I finally made it successfully through turning the heel. I have a lifeline set and will start the leg tomorrow. I'm almost scared!

New books on the way! I was browsing Amazon while doing some computer work. Couldn't believe my eyes. A book Knitted Socks East and West had been reduced from $15.xx to $5.08. Last week, I had just marked some of the patterns in that book as future wants. Since I have free shipping there, I hit that buy button just as fast as I could. I'm delighted as I really didn't expect to ever get the book.

I placed a restriction on myself a year or so back, no pattern books. I enjoy having them but have a tendency to not use them much. My bookcases are terribly full so I try to keep my new purchases to a minimum. I'm the type person that once I have a book, it never leaves me! Reference books are easy to justify but patterns are so easy to come by online that I put a restriction on those in an effort to keep the bookcases from collapsing.

Second book is a Yarn Harlot book.....for $2.77 and free shipping. Who could turn that down? It will be small enough to pop in my on-the-go bag. Perfect as I haven't had a book in there for a while now.
