thursday again!

April 7th, 2005

yesterday was such a beautiful day, outside.
inside i was struggling much with myself and things of the like.
when in doubt, cast on!
i’m terribly bored with everything in my WIP basket(s), and nothing in those is from my yarn.
i decided to use this

perfect peach

turned it into this

with my fancy ball winder.

after a few swatches, i cast on a…….
a……
…………………………..shawl! yes, i did.

because, you know everyone is doing it.

i think i worked on it for a total of five minutes,
broke the yarn off,
immediately grabbing a mixed matched set of size 3’s,
cast on 44 stitches…..
ahhhhhhhhhhh.
the old stand by, my comfort food of knitting.
socks.

much better.
plus! i need something small to tote along when i take the kids out to tBYoD
since i can’t really bring my spinning out there.
maybe a babes would be great to have to tote outside.

i’m liking the way it is working up

more so than i thought i would.
last year, i sold off my favorite yarn, this year i gave my favorite yarn away.
so much yarn passes thru my fingers that i don’t get to use but would love to.
like this one:

i’ve been stopping myself from winding it up.
i’m going to give it another week or so on the page.
hopefully, these socks will fill my jones.
i’m really loving the orange/yellow/pink thing.(if it isn’t apparent.)

i should have the first sock finished tonight.
(i think i’m going to make it a shorty clog sock)
since thursday has been my traditional tee vee and knitting night.
but, i have much spinning to do.
so torn, so torn….
