Whatcha Knittin' Chickie??

I am such a wanna be....I have mittenitis, thanks to The Harlot...Sophie-itis from Norma...All of Ryan's posts including Chocolate and Cuzzin' Tom make me want candy and a nice Buddhist cousin......

To cure the mittenitis, I put Nancy Bush's Folk Mittens (highly recommended by Queen Harlot) on hold at the library and started mittens out of Opal self-patterning sock yarn on size 1's. Now, this is a saaaaaaad comparison to the magic Stephanie works with her Latvian and Estonian mittens, but, well, it was all I was up to at this point in December!

To ease the aching need for a Sophie-just-like-Norma-made, I have been scoping out the Cascade 220 in my stash...lots of it really, but not enough in any one color for a Sophie, though I am considering striping it.....

The Chocolate craving has gone unsatisfied, 'cept for a fat-free, no-whip white mocha daily from the drive-through, YES drive-through!!, Starbucks. I know, some of you despise Starbucks. What can I say....I love it! and having a drive through less than a mile from the office...well, you know...how can I NOT have Starbucks???

The Cuzzin' Tom piece of the Wanna Be Puzzle is still unsatisfied. Guess I'll have to live vicariously through Ryan at Mossy Cottage....
