Some might have noticed that I haven’t had any socks on the needles for a while now.¬†¬† The last pair had been finished on 5/23.¬† I went for THREE weeks without knitting any socks.¬† That’s not a big deal for some knitters.¬† But I’m a sock and lace knitter.¬† Sure, I’ve got a bit of lace going on, but still, socks are my easy knitting!¬† I’ve finally rectified that problem. At the risk of being labeled a copycat, I saw Jessica’s latest sock and found what I wanted to knit.
Behold:
The yarn is giving the camera some issues.¬† It isn’t anywhere that pink, actually it reads purple to my eyes.¬† I’d say the whole shot was off, but the cables on my knitpicks needles looks right… as do my jeans and the grey bands on the sock.¬† Whatever.¬† I spun the yarn on the Suzie Pro sometime last year.¬† Yeah, I know, a bit imprecise, but honestly, I can’t remember anything further than that.¬† I know I bought the fiber before moving 
  It was Spunky Eclectic in Rocky Mountain High colorway.  I think it is merino, but could be BFL as I bought both.  I LOVE the pattern.  Super easy to memorize and I think it looks great with the handpaint.  Enjoying this no end.
I did do a little work on WRS over the weekend, but an ever present headache has me putting it aside for something that requires a little less concentration.¬† I had no less than two mothers suggesting it go in timeout yesterday.¬† Good advice, even with the new lower wattage reading glasses that I bought with the help of Google.¬† I’ll be happy when allergy season is over and I can get a better idea of why things are hurting!
I’ve been meaning to show this picture for a while.¬† Gave up getting a scanner moved to an in use computer and decided to use the cheat method of taking a picture.¬† Kat has always been very creative.¬† She’ll sit for hours coloring.¬† Her artwork has evolved, as little kid artwork is wont to do.¬† She’s coloring a great deal of what we’ve dubbed little people.¬† Pages and pages of these things are coming home from school and they never fail to make me smile!
I have this one hanging on my cubicle wall right above my phone.¬† I smile every time I see it.¬† That is a full sheet of 8×11 paper too.¬† I love the little people.
Craft on!
