R.A.O.K. and puddin'

yesterday, as i was coming out of a gas station and getting into the car, a man rolled up to me on his bicycle.  as i prepared to tell him that i hadn't any change, he said "you have not been deflowered, you've been reflowered...by a hippie" and he handed me this and then rode off into the traffic (well, not into the traffic...you get the point).  how freakin' cool is that?????  it made my whole day.  it also made me feel like a jerk for assuming (when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me). 

now, for the puddin' part...i made rice pudding yesterday or the day before (must lay off the sauce.  sheesh).  have you ever made this?  did you know that two little cups of rice can turn into a whole....damned....GIGANTIC....pot of rice???  that you will start off with the pan you normally use to make rice and will have to transfer the puddin' not once but TWICE in the course of cooking it??  i now have enough rice puddin' to last, oh, till doomsday (teehee)...i just wanted a little bit.  gah.

after knitting on the new sock for a bit i decided to go ahead and cast on the second one and just throw him in the mix too.  2 socks on my one magic loop...i don't know how i feel about it yet.  i'm not sure if this is going to impede my normally speedy sock progress...hmm.  oh well, it's a new thing to try, and i do so love trying new things.  Nessie is right, though--this yarn needs a good name...i was so motivate by the Clown Puke...this is just--blue.  stripey and blue; that's not at all catchy.
i did figure out a really swell way to do the provisional cast on for the stupid short row toe (why do i use it?  i hate it.  i can never get it to look decent.  it's always gappy and lumpy). see there?  the loops on the cable are the provisionally cast on ones.  okay, i was jazzed....

 

i really want to start a pair of Drunken Jaywalkers but i can't.  (just keep saying it and it may help)  i need to finish the fella's sweater ...must...finish...sweater....first....

Whoa I'll take some of that rice pudding - I love it!!! I've yet to find a really good recipe for it though. Your socks are lookin good - I hate doing provisional cast ons so I like the figure 8 cast on method - I just learned it, it's pretty easy and you don't have to unravel.
