I'm not very far, but the plane ride to San Diego is not very long! Plus, on the way back I was sleepy, and decided I needed to read a fluffy magazine instead (my other travel must).
I'm knitting these out of Koigu, and now I know why people love this yarn so much. The color in the photo is way off. San Francisco has been having some overcast weather, so it is hard to get good photos. It's not pink/magenta at all, but really more of a deep plum. I'm loving working with this yarn!
Right Out Loud tagged me for the 7 Random Things meme. I'm glad it wasn't the 8 Things one that is also going around, because it is hard to come up with this stuff!
1. My husband and I were married in New Orleans under a giant oak tree a year before Hurricane Katrina. We think the tree is still there, but are not sure. I have so many good memories there, that I think it would be depressing to visit there now.
2. Since graduating from college, I have lived in 5 states: Florida, Wisconsin (my home state), Illinois, Michigan and now California. I grew up in a small town near Green Bay and always wanted to get out and live in a big city. This is one of the few things I imagined myself doing as a child/teen that actually came true!
3. I'm pretty shy, and I especially dislike large groups of strangers. I find mass networking events especially unpleasant.
4. I've always been into art and craft, and I was an art major in college. I was especially into pinhole photograpy and printmaking. A newer interest of mine has been book arts.
5. In high school track, my event was discus. My school didn't really have any good female shot putters, so all the girls who did discus also had to do shot put. I've always been fairly wimpy, and I got by with discus by having "good form". That didn't really work with shot put, so this event could get pretty mortifying at times!
6. I've only had two cars. The first was an '88 Plymouth Sundance, that I finally replaced about two and half years ago. It still ran very well, but both air conditioning and heat were issues. When the ceiling started falling down, that was the last straw:)
7. Normally, I'm not an indecisive shopper, but whenever I receive a gift certificate, I have a very difficult time deciding what to use it for. For some reason, I feel like I need to purchase something special with it. As a result, I tend to hold onto to them for a long time before finding the right thing.
OK, if you are one of the 5 people out there who hasn't done this meme and would like to, consider yourself tagged!

That sock is going to be spectacular, I can't wait to see it, and that yarn has such a lovely sheen. In terms of the meme, I took a class on paper/book arts in college and it was one of my all-time favorite classes!
I just now saw your sock progress...this is a great pattern. Thanks for sharing the link. I'm going to add it to my sock knitting list. San Diego is so beautiful, laid back, and has gorgeous beaches. Looking forward to our next trip...maybe next year.
