all sorts of things
ok, well this is a knit blog so let's start with the knitting. the socks i cast on for in paris are complete, so here they are, my paris socks!
the yarn is trekking and the pattern was made up, just a rib cuff and stockinette over 64 stitches. i really love this trekking colorway, but can't remember which number it is.
ok, now completely random stuff.
cool lamp purchased in the target holiday section. a little pricey for target but i couldn't resist it. also, you might want to know that the holiday method products are out (found on a hidden endcap). i picked up my fav, the peppermint vanilla hand soap. packaging is different, but same product. i love it and should probably stock up for the year (although i think i saw it on drugstore.com over the summer).
and just a quick glimpse at my drawer of goodies from the trip.
i probably didn't mention that i also purchased the smaller bag shown here at harrods? i really wanted a vernis papillion but couldn't justify the price. i had a hard enough time justifying this, even though it was about $100 dollars cheaper in london (kinda scary that i knew what the US price was off the top of my head while we where there).
oh and although i should have posted this before halloween, the nightmare before christmas is much bigger over there so the disney store was full of goodies. i took home this votive holder
i peeked at the disney store here when i got home and couldn't find one nightmare thing. i am glad i picked this up!
ok, that is all the random thoughts for today. i am in limbo on what i should be knitting now. i admit to casting on a pair of socks, but the holiday gift guilt is being felt and i need to work on stuff that is not for me *gasp*

I think that I just got that Trekking colorway; mine is #107 and it's got lots of pinks and greens. You never can tell what the Trekking skeins are going to produce, but yours are just lovely. I hope mine turn out the same!
Great socks! Trekking is such lovely yarn.
Yay for Jack Skellington!
I love those socks that you knit! Nice colorway and they look like they fit you perfectly! I have a few LV bags....nice that you purchased one $100 less! Enjoy it!
i have a similar colored skein of trekking -- i'm kind of excited to see the variations -- i'm hoping mine looks like that knitted up;
nice bag by the way. hmmm.
Yep, that is #107 - I have it in my stash, and seeing your lovely new socks makes me want to pull it out and start right now! I have too many projects ;)
Lovin' the lamp~
Great socks! Your yarn choices are always so nice.
I'm feeling the urge to go to my LYS and see if they have that Trekking colorway. GORGEOUS!
Nice splurge on the bag! Isn't it neat though that you have something like that to commemorate your trip?
I love those socks. Trekking is just so comfy. It makes me want to wear robes and sip hot chocolate.
Incidently, I was somewhere...Crate and Barrel! and saw their new drinking chocolate and I thought of you. Is that weird? I hope not.
That lamp is too cute. Hmmmm . . .
Love, love, love your Jack Skellington! The Pumpkin King, there is no way I would have passed that up either! Great colors on your socks too!
