Markers and Socks and Shawls...Oh My!

So, I got my partners for The Stitch Marker Exchange, and my apartment is covered in beads. Whenever I bead, I end up dropping the tiny seed beads at least once and have to pick beads out of the carpet for an hour afterwards. Sigh, at least the markers are almost done and I should have them mailed out by Monday.

There has been progress on the sock:

and the Shawl:

I've finally managed to pick up the provisional cast on and begin knitting, and this time the sides will match up (Yea!).

Only 14 days until SOS2007! I can't wait! This is what greeted me in my sock stash this morning:

They appear rather shifty. I'm afraid if I don't knit up that wool soon, they may slowly make off with it. I'll have to keep a close eye on them.

Last but not least, It's payday, so I bought more sock yarn from The Loopy Ewe. Can't wait!

Anyhoo back to picking beads out of the carpet.

TTFN and KEEP KNITTING!
