French kitties, next destination and FO report

I finally managed to upload some pics and here are some...(don't laugh...the adventure part of my trip needs to start asap...don't worry, I know)

I'm sure you can guess which one is my favorite...

With my two parisian nieces...they're hilarious!!!

I haven't done many touristy things (other than drink lots of coffee and eat croissants) since I'd done a few of them before, but tomorrow I'm off to the Pompidou museum for the first time to feast my eyes on some cubist, fauvist and pop art. Should be fun!!!

So...my time in Paris is slowly coming to an end (for now) and I'll be heading south next week to Aix en Provence for a big Couchsurfing thing. Hopefully the weather there will be a little warmer because really, the greyness/not hot-ness is a little sad. I needs sun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, a little FO-ness for you...


Pattern: Dream Twister Socks by the lovely Mona Schmidt

Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Merino in Country Garden

Started: march 29th 2008

Finished: may 16th 2008 in the plane (where the pic above was taken)

Comments: I love the freaking socks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pattern was fun, the yarn was drool-worthy, I have nothing bad to say. I've alreqdy worn these socks and washed them and...it's just...I just...Love. Period.

Now I know, whatever shall I knit now?? Well I've cast on a pair of plain socks (well, I might play around with them...) and in the train, I'll start the Twisted Flower socks in Dream in Color Smooshy color Happy Forest that I blogged about right before I left.

So there, be nice everyone!!!!
