Pictures and A Meme

Well, here's the socks:

As you can see, one heel was knit differently than the other-I misread the instructions for the first sock--oops! Then when I got to the heel on the second sock, I didn't remember how I made the first heel, so I couldn't even copy the first to look like the second!
Of course, it's not a big deal. Now I know when I knit socks, I should completely ignore SSS at all costs and make the second sock right after the first-at least I'll remember how I made a mistake in the first sock, so I can have socks that look more or less alike.
As for knitting progress..Zip. Zilch. Nada.
Now, for the meme
7 Random Things About Me:
1) My first pet was a newt. We didn't know its gender. At first, we called it Curious George, but then I read something about how the size of a newt tells the gender, we decided it was a girl. The name was changed to Curious Georgina, or GG.

2) My first knitting project was neckwarmers for some friends I had in a retirement home. I got six done in four-five months!

3) I knitted with mainly acrylic yarn for at least five or six years before I realized there was nicer yarn for just a little more

4) I learned to knit on circular knitting needles (they were the only ones Grandma had on hand)

5) Before I knitted, I did a lot of hand sewing-didn't get very good at it, though.

6) When I was born, the two names that were tossed back and forth was Sarah and Heather.

7) My initials spell HAH (on purpose) My dad thought that was hilarious-my mom didn't notice till I was a couple years old.

Now, for the NaNoWriMo update...
I have written 6,843 words-I should be on 10,000 by now. What with life, school, cello, eating and sleeping, I haven't found much time to write. I've changed my goals so that my personal goal is 30,000-40,000 words. I may not win NaNoWriMo, but I will get a lot of writing done. Perhaps next year, I'll try for the gold!
