OK, so I only made 1 New Year's Resolution for 2009 and that is to hand knit* 1 pair of socks per month for the whole year. I know what you're saying, it is a tall order. I believe I am up to the challenge.

*I say hand knit because I actually have an antique sock knitting machine!!! I KNOW! SO AWESOME! I got it from Kosta for Christmas because he is amazing and I love him to death and someday he will be the father of my children, for whom I will knit a gazillion socks for once he figures out the aforementioned machine and shows me how to use it :)

It is 1/20/09 and I have a week left to finish January's socks - I am 3/4 done with the first one and 1/32 done with the second. So...I should probably get off the damn computer and go knit!

January's sock:
Silver's Sock Pattern done with Claudia Handpainted Fingering weight merino in Sharks!
They will be for Kosta, for the above mentioned reason and so many many many more :)

Happy Socking!

Hi!
First, a note about kvas:
It tastes like bread, in a bad way. For example: Kosta told me it was like "Russian Rootbeer" - so I was like "Oh, Rootbeer, OK" and I tasted it. It was so gross, I actually needed a drink of something else to get the taste of the kvas out of my mouth, Most certainly an acquired taste.

Moving on...
I learned today that if I accidentally hit ctrl+shift on his keyboard, this happens:
Ершы шы тще утпдшыр фе фддб ершы шы еру скфян
Yeah, that's not the alphabet I am used to at all.
However, it is convenient when I want to type:
Я тебя люблю
Which means "I love you" in Russian.
That's right...I know things about stuff...
