These are some of the first socks I knit as opposed to crochet.  If you can't tell they were for my son (he likes orange).  They are in worsted weight wool.  I think they may have gotten felted in the wash but I have plans to make him better ones. 

I did play WOW a little yesterday.  I ran around a level 20 area with my level 90.  That was fun.  I'm half way through finishing the area for the "Lore Master" title.  I did listen to a couple of podcasts and I'm ok with that.

Today is podcast day.  I was planning on working on my daughter's other sock but I bought yarn for another project that has a time limit.  I think I said before that I usually give a baby blanket but when the newest niece was born my sister had asked for diapers.  My son really wanted her to have a blanket and my daughter picked out some neon yarn.  The one time I timed a blanket it took me 3 hours.  I'm timing myself again but this time instead of trying to do it as fast as possible I'm taking my time and crocheting like I usually do.   I finished the first ball (of three) and so far I'm at 1 hour 15 minutes. The other thing is the other blanket had a thinner yarn I think.  If I finish the blanket (ha) I'll work on my daughter's sock. 

Once I finish the blanket I will be done with any Christmas knitting or crochet unless I get one of two people for name draw.  If we decide to put some soap and lotion in the grab bag I'll make a washcloth to go with it but that is easy and not I'm not even sure we are going to do that.  The kids and I do plan to make some ornaments but those should be really easy.  The Shady Cels group on Ravely is also doing a card swap that we will make a  couple of cards for but again not much.  I just want to finish this baby blanket in time to enter it in NerdWars and nothing else will be done. 

I think that's it.  Nothing new or exciting but that can be a good thing.
