No, I'm not doing it in orange and purple stripes. The orange is my provisional cast-on. I've only done a provisional cast-on once before, on something that I frogged after about 8 rows. It's kind of fun. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to have a horribly clashing yarn attached to this for a little while. :)
Here's my sock, which I'm plugging away on:
I started the lace section for the toe last night. Yay! THE TOE! That's close to the end, right?
And of course, my latest yarn purchases...
My new Silky Wool.
A skein of Blue Heron cotton woven ribbon.
In other news, I just got my lease renewal notice today. My apartment complex was just bought by a new management company about a month ago, and I had been DREADING the new rent rate. By state law, rental properties can't increase rent more than 10%, but I didn't know if that still applied because of the new management company. I've been vaguely expecting my rent to double (which would mean I'd be moving). So, I got my notice, and my rent is only going up by 3%. 3%? Woohoo!! I'm SO ridiculously happy about this. They didn't even go for the full 10%, which is awesome of them. I honestly wasn't expecting anything this low.
I will be celebrating this evening at DuClaw's Berserkr release party. This definitely calls for a celebratory pint.
