A new sock started
I made it to the little knitting group at the Borders book store in Longmont yesterday morning and met some wonderfully nice women and had a good time. I'm looking forward to dropping in on the scene as often as I can. I wish I'd known about this before now...
I started a sock Friday night - I haven't had a sock going for a while, and they're the perfect thing not only for taking along to Borders but also for filling the gap when other projects are on hold. I'm using the same yarn I did for my husband's socks (Regia Short Color), but these I'll be making for my middle son. So often when I do things for the boys, I'll go oldest to youngest or youngest to oldest - this time I thought I'd start in the middle. (My daughter's already had TWO PAIRS of socks come her way.)
OK, when I'm done with my husband's sweater, time to go back to knitting something for ME. I'm a selfish knitter. It's my time; I like to do it for my benefit. The Lavold sweater is at the top of the pile. I still want to do that Koigu pullover; maybe I'll order the yarn for that this week.
Nothing pictureworthy today, but I should have the raglan back up and running tomorrow evening.
