See, once I’m back in the blogging groove, I’m in it well. ¬†I just got back from a lunchtime field trip with Kim and Tami over to Seaport Yarn. ¬†I picked up a skein of sock yarn and a circular needle for the Queen Ring Shawl. ¬† I needed something pointer with a better join than the stupid KA bamboo’s that I cast on with. ¬†The reason there’s not photographic evidence of the project is that I have some six rows of garter stitch on US0’s in a cobweb yarn. ¬†Not very interesting to look at. ¬†Maybe I’ll be able to make some progress on it with the new needles. ¬†We’ll see.
As a follow up, as I suspected, I cannot use the flyer from my Matchless on the Reeves frame.  The distances between the front and back maidens is widely different between the two wheels.  Oh well.  It was worth a try.
In further follow up news, Jess posted a picture of the yarn I gave her. ¬†Someday I’m going to be less of a camnesiac dork and take pictures of my stuff before I give it away.
Finally, the sock is progressing.  I made it past the heel at the kegger last night.  
I can’t tell ya how happy I am that it morphed from a final send off of a beloved store to a “we’re moving” party. ¬†I must say though that a gaggle of knitters in an empty yarn store is LOUD. ¬†I left earlier than I normally would have on a Thursday night because the noise got to me. ¬†I get a sort of sensory overload, especially when tired and it hit last night 
¬†Oh well. ¬†At least it wasn’t a final goodbye but more of an adieu. ¬†Can’t wait to see the new store in August! ¬†In the meantime, Panera is a tad quieter 
Have a fab-O weekend!
Craft on!
