...a two hour delay this morning. I am not a morning person. I never have been, and working night shift for several years has not helped to change that. So this morining when DH got out of the shower and told me there was a 2 hour delay, it was music to my ears. If I could sleep until 8:30 every morning, I would be a happy camper. It is like an ice rink in our neighborhood, in some places it even loooks like someone has driven a Zamboni over the road. The kids were "skating" up and down the sidewalk this morning while waiting for the bus. That always makes me nervous. I am so worried one of them will slide out into the road. 
Look what I got yesterday. I ordered it from Sonny and Shear Today is the last day of the 1 st year anniversary sale, so you still have time to order. Everything is 25% off, just use the code OneYear. The yarn is from PigeonRoof Studios and the color is Delight. I have not wound it yet, but on the hank it reminds me of Koigu. I wish I had thought to take a picture before I opened everything, the packaging was to nice. 
I finished a pair of socks yesterday too. The Lace -agons are officially finished. They are knit in Cherry Trre Hill Supersock in the Tide Pool color. The pattern and yarn are available at The Loopy Ewe. It is a pretty quick knit also.
And I have been working a little on the Dream in Colors "Into the Mystic" socks. This yarn is reallly nice to work with. Also from The Loopy Ewe. And The Loopy Ewe just got in some Paca Peds sock yarn. I have not tried this yarn yet, but the colors are gorgeous, and I think I am going to have to order some very soon.
And, lest you think I have abandoned the mission of knitting mates for all the singletons, esp with all this new yarn joining the stash, I am happy to let you know, I cast on for the second sock of a pair that has been long neglected. Maybe I will be able to finish it this week.
Well, I must slide back over to the doctors office. As much as I like sleeping in, it kind of messed up the routine. The office only draws blood from 7:30 to 11 in the morning and with the girl child not getting on the bus until a little after 10 this morning, I managed to get to the office at 11:01 and the lab girl was already gone. So back I go.
Have a great week everyone. OH, and of course the spell check is still not working : (

I agree, the morning is over rated, and comes much too early for me! LOL
School is out here too. But for the election not the snow that has accumulated to 5". The weather man missed this one. It is 18 degrees and still snowing.
I like the stash you accumulated. And the socks.....wow they are some socks....you are the knitter! :)
I'm so not a morning person either, I can totally relate there. *sigh*
How many different types of sock yarns do you think you've used? I want them ALL, but realize that there just seems to be more and more that I haven't gotten to try! My stash diet this year is moving along, but boy, I can't wait until next year. I'm using your blog as my "add to shopping list" source! :o)
Great socks!!!
You sure have a nice yarn stash going. Love the new yarn you got! If that ice/snow was here, we'd be closed for days...
You are not the only one who would be very happy to sleep til 8:30 every morning :) Pretty yarn and your socks are wonderful as always :) You are so speedy...my sock knitting seems to be so slow going!
happy knitting :)
I don't know how you go so fast--both socks are beautiful. I am still trying to complete the victorian swag one that I have started and I have started the ribbing on the aran sock--in between trying to make some progress on the afghan and it turns out that not much seems to get done! Beautiful yarn also. Someone has to like the early morning so I guess I will volunter. lol
Mandy had a snow day today and a 2 hour delay for tomorrow. She is very happy about it. I went to work late because the roads were horrible.
Your new yarn is very pretty ... I've been told I look pretty in pink ...even my feet!
You are about the faster knitter I know!
Hasn't this been the winter??? Seems strange not to be affected by school closures now that they are all in college.. and there have been several! LOVE the socks. I've yet to find a sock pattern that it is a 'quick knit' for me :-) I can't believe how fast you are at socks!!!
Love your socks!!!
School was delayed here 90 minutes (hubby drives the school bus)because we had the same ice rink conditions you did. The college crew didn't have to be in until 10:00 and many of the classes were cancelled after that because the teachers didn't make it on time.
That Sonny And Shear stuff is gorgeous. Too bad I missed the sale.
