You all know that since I finished a pair of socks I’d have to start another. So just because there has been spinning does not mean there has not been knitting. It just hasn’t been around in abundance.
The new sock is being knit with some Trekking XXL I bought from The Knitter’s Underground while I was on vacation. The pattern is the ingenious Twisted Tweed and I loves it.
I took the sock with me to the graduation party I sweated at. I should have gotten a picture of the sock with the graduate, but to tell you the truth I didn’t know the graduate all that well. I’m friends with his mother and she was sweatier then I was, so I didn’t want to bother her.
Still. The sock received much admiration from the other folks at my table. Despite the wonderful hula show and the eating and the chattering and the eating and the endless raffle prizes and the eating and the wonderful music and the eating, I was able to get some knitting done.
The colors in this sock cheer me to no end. A good thing too since my current spinning project is rather monochromatic. But I’m on the second bobbin of two which means I’ll soon be done with it.
I really hope my swap partner likes it. It’s not very exciting. I’m painfully nervous about the whole thing. This is my first swap in years and I really want it to go well. I’ve been gathering various Hawaiian good in addition to the fiber I’m sending. Gosh, I hope she doesn’t hate Hawaii. :-o
Here’s a few non-sequitors. Did anyone see the Home Run Derby? Josh Hamilton kicked ass! Twenty-eight home runs in the first round! I was really sad that he didn’t take home the trophy, but he still went down in history.
Also, it’s really humid here. I washed five skeins of yarn yesterday and they’re still not dry. This makes me growl in a sad, pathetic way. I know that’s rather self-contradictory, but there you have it.
Finally, it’s a rare shot of the three amigos. So rare that I had to take it at night and adjust the exposure to accommodate the super crappy lighting. You may all laugh at my horrid 70’s orange carpeting.
Happy Tuesday everyone! Thanks for reading. :)
