Wow, would you believe another day went by that I didn’t cast on for a new project NOR bought anything? Amazing. I was tempted though. Email turned up sale at Kyarn on Lamb’s Pride and well I have sold some stash yarn (hi Claudia, box is set to be picked up tomorrow morning by my postal carrier!) Won’t be able to say the same tomorrow. Two reasons:
The first is that Marina and I will be going to Purl. She wants to start knitting socks and asked me if I wanted to take a field trip there. Always! Not to mention the opportunity to spread the sock bug to someone else. Yessiree. She’ll love it. Purl has some great choices for sock yarn. Between the Lorna’s Laces and the Koigu, she can’t go wrong. I figure if you’re going to do it, you do it with something that you love the look and feel of otherwise you wouldn’t get a true experience and might be discouraged early. I do need to pick up my final better pal gift and Purl is the perfect place to do it. Can’t spill, don’t know if she’s a reader or not and I’d rather not spoil the surprise.
So that blows the whole not buying anything, which brings me to the casting on portion. I just finished the first sock while watching Veronica Mars. Colors are gorgeous though the effects are different on the foot than the leg. The leg you can see it spirals, but it pooled on the foot. Odd, but definitely a gorgeous sock, even better in person than this picture, though thanks to the OTT light, the colors are pretty true. It fits me like a glove so I hope it fits mom okay. So I have to cast on tomorrow, for the second sock.
I realized I missed something in my last post. No one has called me on the carpet for it though. 
I forgot the whole kitten zen photo thing. Must be this posting at night thing. It has me so confused that I just plum forgot it. Mea culpa. Please forgive. I do hope to atone with this nugget of kitten goodness.
My Noro Silk Garden arrived today. YAY! It is gorgeous. I told Deb in an email exchange that I was so tempted to toss aside the whole FI thing and do Klaralund for the Olympics. But she was right, Klaralund wouldn’t be a challenge and the Olympic spirit called for something better. She’s right. I’ll just have to content myself with fondling the yarn until after the vest is done.
Short one tonight as the little people had me up at 5:30 this morning. While they went back to sleep until 7, I only got a few more minutes of shuteye. Add in the grueling day of writing code and you got yourself one tired fiber lady.
Craft on!
