Sweet Tarts

These socks make me think of Sweet Tarts. A favorite of mine. I love the small ones, but I really, really love the big chewy ones. I never would have thought these socks would look like that by looking at the yarn. The colors just remind me of sweet tarts. Geoff thinks I am crazy, and has no clue why I keep saying that. Anyways, they are made from Wick yarn. It is soy and polypropylene. I wasn't crazy about working with that yarn. It snags really easy, and if you don't pull the right end you get a horrible tangled not (speaking from experience). As a matter of fact I came really close to frogging these socks and turning them into a summer tank top. My sister is just learning to knit and is trying to make a ribbed tank top from the Stitch' N Bitch. I thought what fun it would be for us to make the same thing at the same time. After analyzing my yarn a little more I decided I wouldn't like it as much if it didn't make that slight swirly pattern. So socks they became.

We are getting really close to leaving. In a week we move into the Casey Lodge. It is all so mind boggling to think about. I can't believe 10 months has already past. Sometimes being and adult is such a pain because time goes by so fast (compared to when you are a kid). Thinking back we should have done more. I never made it to Insadong or Namdaemun. Those are just different shopping districts in Seoul. But after seeing several parts of Seoul they all look the same. To be quite honest I have found that South Korea is a pretty expensive country.

Every now and then I have brief moments where I freak out because were on the move again. Those moments pass very quickly as I remind myself everything will be fine, you have done this before, God is in control. I've thought a lot lately about everywhere we have lived as a married couple. It is hard to believe that in the last 7 1/2 years we have never lived in one place longer than 3 years. Technically that only applies to me because Geoff spent a year out of those three years deployed. That doesn't include him going to the field either. As of right now our next 2-3 years should be in on place. I don't mind moving all the time. It is always fun to see where we end up next. Until next time!
