*snort*

Yeah, I know. I owe peeps pics of socks I received in the mail. I had the camera out this weekend, too. I such a slacker...

I received my Knit Picks Options needles this week. YEAH! I have been knitting like banshee on the AFGHAN OF DOOM with them. Man, it's so nice to NOT have to fight with the plastic cables of circular needles anymore. Makes knitting SO much easier. However, I wish I would have purchased a longer set of cables. This thing is HUGE! I ordered some permanent circulars for sock knitting, too. I can't wait to put my Lady of Cups on those. I may take those with me this weekend on our trip through the Blue Ridge. We hit the Skyline Drive part this weekend and had a BLAST! I need something to relax with, though, if I'm not too exhausted.

We hiked 4.6 miles with 1000 difference in elevation from start to finish. It was KILLER and I was tired, so I'm glad I didn't bring them with me. But this weekend, we're supposed to camp, and I may need something for some down time from all the excitement of the day and that might help. Just have to see.

I'm ALMOST done with the AFGHAN OF DOOM though. I have about 10 rows of red, then about 3 rows of grey and four rows of white then I'm done with the pattern. I just hope I can finish it before his birthday! That would be a cool present! If not, I'll just have to order an Indians jersey for him. *giggle*
