The Yarn is in the Mail
So to speak. I've (temporarily) abandoned my plan for anime socks. But, only temporarily. I've settled on Baudelaire--I liked it better anyway, but thanks to all who pushed me in that direction.
Now all I do is wait. Wait until the yarn comes. While I'm waiting, I can wonder if I picked the right yarn. I can obsess about whether or not my sock pal really does like pink. I've noticed that she mostly knits things that are deep, earth tones. I've also noticed a tendency toward solids and hand dyed not-so-solid solids. In searching for the perfect yarn, I've come to recognize that I, myself, really do love a good variegated yarn.
Never one to settle on something too easily, I have ordered three different yarns. I wonder which I'll choose? In the meantime, I'm itching to get started. I might have to do a test run while I'm waiting. I've got an extra skein of Socks that Rock Fire on the Mountain (my favorite yarn EVER) calling out to me. Maybe I should make another set of these while I wait. 
I've got lots of friends having babies, after all.

Those are beautiful baby booties/socks. I like the color.
I would love to see the anime socks. But I like your current choice also.

Here's something to help pass the time: you are hereby tagged to post seven random facts about yourself to your blog.
Don't hate me, I had to come up with seven people, and as I'm new to the blogosphere, I had to improvise. Feel free to ignore it if you've already done it, or just don't want to.
