We're still talking about the socks.
Arg, the socks. The Kick Off The New Year Socks. The cables that I have to remember to mirror, the toes that are too long, the gauge that isn't tight enough. Oh, the socks.
I'm halfway through the gusset increases and I'm ready to -- quoting Ian -- punch a llama. I am so tired of these socks being un-sock-like. We are having a rocky relationship and the end is not in sight. I am skeptical of this whole Fleegle heel thing. What kind of a name is Fleegle, anyway? Not one that sounds very trustworthy, that's for sure.
I don't know what I'm doing for February's socks. I kind of want to make heart socks out of hot pink yarn, but I don't want them to take forever. It might end up being basic toe-up socks I knit tiny reverse-stockinette hearts into everywhere. That sounds cute, right? But first I have to finish the stupid New Year socks. ARG.
Okay. That's enough WIP Whining for today. Let's talk about something else sock-related, shall we?

WIP Wednesday!
In order to make it easier to post every day, I've come up with some elements to add to each day's post. Having some regular content will help me have enough to say, and give some regularity to my posts. Here's what I'm thinking.
Sundays will be Resolutions, where I review what I've resolved to do this month or year, and how I'm doing with them. Having regular reviews will probably help me get more things done!
Mondays will continue to be 3 Good Things. It's a good bit of positivity for what tends to be a bad day.
Tuesdays is going to be a food thing, which I don't yet have a title for. (I'm contemplating "Tasty Treats, but that sounds like either dog food or dessert.) Essentially I'm going to post something I made for myself in the last week that I really liked. I'll for sure either post or link to the recipes so you can all make them for yourselves!
Wednesday will be Works In Progress. Mostly fiber projects, but other things can also make an appearance like books I'm reading.
Thursdays are going to be Showcase. This is strictly fiber-related, where I show off crafts done by friends or even perfect strangers (I'll ask first, obviously). Essentially, if it strikes my fancy, I'll put it up. (This will probably also give those people some publicity, which the ones with blogs or charities would appreciate.)
Fridays will be Victory days! This is like FO Friday, but more inclusive. Anything I consider a victory can be added to this one.
Saturdays are going to be Adulting Blanket days. A nice overview of the squares I've made in the past week. It'll give some great color combinations, at the very least!
Now that we've talked about this, let's move on to today's element, Works In Progress!
