I was going to tell you about the busiest week I've ever had.  And I was going to tell you about the most EXHAUSTING day in the busiest week ever, but I'm tired.  And I really think you just want to know about my socks (and my shawl and my ribby cardi, but those just have to wait).  The socks are done.

For those who have asked... the yarn is Regia Mini-Ringel color 5340.  If you find any out there, get another two balls for me!  I've searched high and low for this colorway and  5343 (hint, hint), and no luck.  I got this at elann.com back in April.  I believe it was only $3.50 a ball.  It was sold out in like a day.  Though I'm pretty glad I snagged some because I've lusted after it ever since I first saw Lara's.  And I think 5343 was brought to my attention by Sarah.  They've got the best taste.
I have worked on blocking my shawl.

Here it is in the bath I gave it on Friday night.  And then, I realized that I was crazy to do that at that very minute because I'd had a total of three hours sleep, and really, I NEEDED to get some sleep!  Why, you may ask?  Because last week was the busiest week.  EVER.  Trip to California, two classes that I've been working my butt off for (YAY!!!!  They're over... now I just have one more to go), and a bridal shower.

Seriously, I'm exhausted.  And so looking forward to the three day weekend.  The shawl will get properly washed and blocked, the ribby cardi knitting will be complete, and I might even have a sock for my SSS Swap partner.
