Some Conclusions

Green tea is really good.

A Chinese guy that I work with gave me some Buddha King Iron Buddha green tea, he said it was fresh so it has to be used quickly. Look at those leaves! I have been drinking a lot of this amazing tea and trying to drink less coffee.

Knitting Selbu socks before a second cup of morning coffee is a bad idea.

After frogging several rows during commuter knitting, I decided these socks are NOT a good project to work on on the bus. So I decided to use up some lopi leftovers and work on a felted bag. (I'll post about that a bit next time.) I am not going to join some destash effort like Fríđa, but I like her idea of weighing what you use up. So I don't really do resolutions, but I think I will try to use up some odds and ends this year. So here are some knitting goals for me for this year:
    Use up some stash leftovers
    Finish and block those 2 shawls already!
    Revisit that purple lace sweater that I picked back up last summer
    Hopefully knit the Poetry in Stitches cardigan that I have the yarn for (can you believe what prevented this is winding yarn into balls? Ugh!)

And one more conclusion, sans picture.
Boys should not spraypaint Pinewood Derby cars in the basement.

BLECH!

I recommend sencha mango, Japanese green tea with a touch of mango. Delicious indeed, especially with a small piece of heavy, dark chocolate cake! As one can buy in the Te og kaffi Café on Laugavegur. Sometimes I wished I would have to take the bus to work. I imagine I would get much more knitting done that way. Or maybe not...

By the way, the sock looks really pretty. Couldn't detect any errors. But maybe it's better to knit something simpler on the bus, I agree.

The socks looks great! Can´t wait to see them finished. I drink a lot of green tea my self at the moment and that´s because I have got a flu... :( So I drink my own herbtea with honey in it to cure my self. But no way I can stop drinking coffee! My life elixr!!! ;)

Ooo, this is exactly the sock that I would knit from the booklet. I look forward to seeing it finished.

OMG. Those Selbu socks are fantastic!

I wouldn't try to knit them on the bus either. My cardinal rule for commuter knitting is: no charts! :-)
