Waiting

I'm waiting for these socks to be finished, so I can start crocheting something new (and continue ignoring my WIP pile).

Socks in progress

I'm waiting to find the perfect pattern in my Kaffe Fassett books so I can use this glorious pile of KF fat quarters I bought years ago. This is my latest Kaffe book, which arrived last week courtesy of Hyena in Petticoats. It's a wet and gloomy day here, but the cover of the book makes it seem almost sunny.

I'm waiting to think how best to deal with this sock yarn, hand dyed by (again) the lovely Hyena in Petticoats. It's the colour of the lichen on the old roof tiles of the inner north where I live, and I think a very nice pattern is in order.

On Wednesday morning I'll be waiting for an airplane to fly me away, just for the day. It's such an extravagance, but I still haven't rewarded myself for surviving through the busy times at work. I always meant to get a pedicure, so I think this little trip will be a very nice (albeit much more expensive) substitute.
