So far I haven’t blogged much about knitting because…well, I’m still in blogging practice mode, which means I have maybe two-point-five regular readers, all of whom I have already bored with talk of what’s on my needles.
I am rather proud of my first pair of socks (pattern by the Yarn Harlot) though. They were for Brendan, but I’m modeling them here (pre-blocking) because I was impatient to get a photo up on Ravelry. He says they fit like a pair of gloves. Hooray!
I can see myself getting totally addicted to sock-knitting. This reminds me of an op-ed (if you can even call it that) I wrote for the Washington Square News entitled “Trash Your Panties: Going Commando with Camille.” (I was going to say it was tongue-in-cheek but that sounds a little dirty under the circumstances…) Anyway, towards the end of the piece I suggested that socks replace ladies’ underpants as fetish objects:
I recommend socks for their wintry practicality and distance from the danger zone.
I should dig out that piece and post it here sometime. It was one of the better things I wrote for the paper at NYU (sadly enough).

Next entry will be all about Cúirt, the international literary festival going on right now in Galway.
I think you’re shortchanging yourself–I think you definitely have 3 full readers. There’s me and Elliot and I am sure there are at least a few other people that read it enough to make up a whole third person hehe. By the way, nice socks.
