First, a hurricane sock-in-progress picture.
This isn’t the best picture I took of the sock. I just liked the monkeys.
Second, an actual hurricane-in-progress picture.
Chris has surprised everyone by making it this far. If you are a weather buff, you might want to read more about him here.
And now, a Public Service Announcement.
August is going to be The Month Emily Finishes Things. I will be wrapping up the three pairs of socks I have on the needles (four if you count Squall), finishing the FBS (or making an honest attempt at it anyway) and renewing my vows to the Epic Counterpain. I am going to make at least one bedspread square a week. To facilitate this goal, the only knitting allowed while watching Monk and Psych is bedspread knitting.
With luck, hard work and candy, maybe I will be able to start new projects in September. Like throw pillows. Or a cardigan. Or more socks.
Okay..I sooo don’t see a pic of the socks. But, congrats on your vow to the UFOs.
Very nice socks 🙂 I hope the hurricane doesn’t do any damage.
I had to go to your main page to see the sock. I like the monkeys too. Thanks for making the AL knitters page.
An admirable goal! And the nice thing about finishing things is that, well, you wind up with finished things! To use! And enjoy!
Sounds like a good plan…..SURE to succeed with the addition of candy!!!

Good luck with the finishing! I’ll send chocolate for sustenance if you want.
good luck on the ufos. I like the hurricane socks and think the monkeys are divine
Great goal! And so glad to know you’re a Monk and Psyche fan. I liked you before but now I know you’re bona fide!
I love Monk, and need to give Psyche a try.
Socks have a lovely textured pattern. Sometimes it’s good to focus on working on particular projects, helps get them done 🙂
Hey girl, just stopping by to say hello. I don’t know what you are talking about. That pic of the socks Haaaaaaaaaaas to be the best one! Even with the monkeys. Hehehe.
And sadly yes I’m watching this new TS too. I’m hoping it’ll weaken. What can I do to improve our odds??? There has to be something! UGH!
Lots of luck with the counterpane. I wish I had one in the works myself!
hurricane season is truly nasty. I hope that this one disappears.
and as far as knitting a square a week… go rock .
hah hah hah… my fingers were just typing too fast… I MEANT to say… YOU rock…. but then again, knowing how wise you are, you probably guessed that 🙂
Loooooove the sock monkeys. They just spread the joy around, don’t they? We all probably need one lurking in the background of every picture we take from now on out…..
And as for knitting & chocolate, Green & Black make a dark chocolate bar called ‘Maya Gold’ that is seriously to die for – one little square and your fingers just suddenly understand how to do a T3 or a ‘k2tog, double yo, ssk’ with nary a hesitation or pause………….want some sent your way????? I can think of nothing better to get those socks FINISHED & thereby prevent any hurricanes from heading your way!
Ok, I see that no one else has stepped up, so it’s my duty…..
Far Right Sock Monkey: “….and the dinosaur said, “Well, I DID use the Kitchner stitch for the toe, but I don’t HAVE toes!!”
Far Left Sock Monkey: (partially spewing chewed-up coconut/banana cookie onto others) “BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”
Middle Sock Monkey:”What’s a kitchen her stitch”?
Somewhat Squished Sock Monkey under Hysterically Laughing Far Left Sock Monkey: “Urf.”
May your hurricane season be short and uneventful.
Egads – what a terrible threat to the bedspread!
