Thanks for sticking by yesterday while my inner geek took control of the keyboard and blathered on about the Sims 3 and Mac vs. PC 
 I happily picked up Sims 3 at Gamestop yesterday during lunch.  Weeeee!  I also grabbed some mall food while I was there and came straight back to the office where I installed and ate.  
Initial feelings? ¬†Pretty cool. ¬†I’ve been reading online reviews in the forum based on a pre-release pirated copy that has been making its way around via torrents and most were not very positive. ¬†It is different than Sims 2, but that should go without saying. ¬†If they don’t make it different, then why would they go for a major release. ¬†They kept alot of elements the same, tweaked others, removed some and added new. ¬†All in all, as a software developer myself, that’s pretty much how you do it. ¬†Some aspects of the game (sleeping, cooking, etc) take longer and offer up more knitting time! ¬†Others take no time at all, ie moving from the home lot to anywhere else on the map. ¬†I managed to lose a couple of hours of night time to it last night.
And as I mentioned before, it offers up primo knitting time. ¬†Between the train home, evening play, and the train/ferry in, here’s that mystery project:
Cookie ¬†went way out on the limb and guessed: ¬†socks! ¬†She’s right. ¬†But they are not just any socks, but Sox socks. ¬†Say that 10 times fast 
 When done, they should look like this:
Awww.  My love of the Sox knows no bounds  I know, not exact, especially on the toe.  Whatev.
Craft on!
