Just in time for football season
The Horns have started fall practice, and just in time for football season, I present the finished Longhorn Socks. (Just ignore the fact that these could not possibly be worn to a football game until late October at the very earliest seeing as how tank tops and flip flops are the only possible attire at football games in Texas in September).

Yarn: Lorna's Laces Sheperd Sock, Longhorn colorway only available at Twisted Yarns in Spring, TX, 2 skeins, lots left over

And just cause it's fun:
You scored 77% Organization, 30% abstract, and 57% extroverted!
This test measured 3 variables.
First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.
Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.
Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.
You are very organized, more concrete, and both introverted and extroverted.
Here is why are you The Count.
You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. The Count is obsessive compulsive and needs to always count what he has. You would never find The Count missing a bat.
You both are concrete thinkers. The Count is very mathminded and wants to know what he has and where it is. His purpose in life is clear. You probably also know what you want in life, and you have a real plan toward achieving it. You aren't likely to throw everything away to take a risky chance.
You are both somewhat introverted. The Count is quite obsessed with himself and the things that belong to him. At the same time he has had 2 girlfriends and he has guests in his castle. Like The Count, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations.
