I have been working on socks with this awesome yarn my secret pal 8 got me. The green fades to purple and back again in the most amazing way. The yarn is kind of stretchy, just a little, just right. It really doesn't seem fitting that I should be using a basic sock pattern here. I need a texture pattern. Not lace, nothing hole-y. I just need something to spice it up a little. I am drawing a blank. Let me know if you think of anything.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I went into the knitting basket. I wanted something to work on instead of the socks. I know I've said it before, but I love Halloween, and I was looking forward to AMC MonsterFest and some knitting progress on the UFO basket from Hell.
Was it destiny that paired up the Swallowtail Shawl with the Exorcist? I may never know. It was amazing. Father Kerris whipped that shawl into submission. He released the demons, and now I can knit the nupps without gnashing my teeth and renting my garments. I was up until 3 am (old time), then up at 9:30 am (new time), with my last fleeting thought and my first rising hope being this...that I will complete the Swallowtail Shawl today.
The Power of Nupps Compel You!
Cables might look nice with those subtle/gradual color changes. Have you seen the cablenet sock patter in the current Knitty? Cute. Don't know if it'd be right for your yarn, but cute, anyway.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
But I do NOT know how you could knit nupps while watching a movie. That's beyond my skills.
