this morning i sat on the floor of the kitchen with my tea and the radio on to the brian lehrer show, and opened the package that had arrived yesterday from san. it was the loveliest yarn and project bag! my heart went pitter pat.
pluto had fun helping me open it, and then decided he would attack me while i was admiring it . . (i had been sitting ON the stool, but had to move off when he began poking me.)
he's such a nut.
it's a lovely birthday gift . .
and i can't wait to cast on! (now, i just need to move a project off my size one sock cable needles.) thanks so much, dear san!
i finally finished the cuffs on my strathcona sweater, with rowan big wool yarn.
it was a quick knit, but i found the directions for the underarms confusing. the designer used a different increase technique which didn't work very well for me. i need to just use the backward loop cast on for underarms.
The sweater looks gorgeous on you and you’ll have to share the sock patter for the yarn, will it be vanilla socks or something else? Xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. I'm a big vanilla sock fan, especially with colorful, variagated yarn. But maybe it's time for something a little different? It depends on if I start another sweater, which I should do, as I have yarn for several projects :P If I start a sweater, I'll want a vanilla sock project that I can grab and not think about.
