space invader socks! How cool is that?!

Clearly compared to some people I am barely geeky at all. ;-)

(The subtitle on that knitting site is one of the worst puns I've ever, btw. And I say this despite having lived with Mr Jackson for several years.)

Once upon a time, I dreamt of a scarf.

Over the years, I came to realise the dream was both trivial and futile. Sniff, sniff.

Aww, poor Rick :-(

I still have a scarf for you on my mental list of things to knit. I even bought some wool for it at one point, but it turned out to be a much brighter colour than I expected, and I've not seen anything else that seemed suitable. Next winter!

By some sinister coincidence, I had a dream about you knitting said scarf last night... only it seemed to be turning into some kind of frightful, lilac, floral cushion cover.

Heh. Promise not to knit you anything lilac and floral ;-)

They untangled nicely then. :D

Very lovely, and purple. Hoorah!

oh pretty!!!

it strikes me that this would be a relatively easy route to cashmere socks, since that wouldn't take a lot of yarn, right? and cashmere socks!

Thank you!

But... if you want cashmere socks, probably the easiest (and cheapest!) thing to do is buy cashmere socks :-( Handknitted socks are ridiculously expensive compared to the bought variety (which is part of their appeal in a way).
