The battle is won.

Has it seriously been over a week since I updated? Talk about losing blogging mojo. The main contributing factor has been another Fibromyalgia flare up, but we won’t touch that subject because it’s boring and stupid and it makes me cranky.  Another thing that has caused this lapse is my decided lack in accomplishing anything of significance, but on Monday that changed.

It’s such a relief to have these socks behind me. The battles were epic. Well. Maybe not, but it sure felt like it. I’m telling you now, stay away from this yarn. There are knots. There are weak spots. This is a migraine in a ball.

The sad thing about this yarn is that the colors really rock. If only they could dye up a better base yarn,  I’d be in sock heaven.

Now I just need to get my ass in gear and mail them off. Did I mention that I’m an infamous procrastinator of posting packages?

I think it’s time to pet the cat.

Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m off to bend wire to my will.
