Knitting on the road

Lochinver had to sit in the basket this weekend - I took off Friday morning for a tour of a bunch of ditch systems in Utah. You can read about it in my work blog.

It was a big car trip - and we know that means socks, boys and girls. My first Koigu sock consumed about 1.01 skeins of KPPPM yarn. Had I known that, I would have made it one-half inch shorter. So on my second sock, I ran out of yarn with fewer than 20 more toe rows to go. So I will go buy a third skein of yarn, and is that really so bad? Maybe I will buy TWO and make another pair of socks, each 1.0 inches shorter than these. And besides, it's an excuse to go to the yarn store!

Now on the sock needles: a pair of grey Regia socks for my husband.

Your husband is a lucky man! And the work blog looks great and should work well. I still hope for the day that WaterBlogged publishes... ;-)
