monday

It has been god knows how long since I have posted and the only title I can come up with is Monday , seriously? I have had tons of things I could post about but then thought nahhh so I kinda let the old blog catch a little dust.
Clapotis (made of the yummy burgundy MALABRIGO ::drool:: ::drool: :) is so coming along just am finishing the increases (there is something about once I get to the straight knitting this baby is gonna fly ::snort: :)
There is an orange toe up sock (Trekking XXL) is flying. I am not sure how I feel about the yarn on my feet, but lemme tell you it knits and knits fast. The stripey goodness is totally addictive.
Cherry Tree Hill. I may need to write some poetry about you (if I was the poetry writing type that is). I am knitting the second of this pair and oh are they some happy GREEN socks.
The multicolored wording in this post is to illustrate a point. I joined project spectrum. I did so long before it started. I got excited thought of ideas. Heck I think I bought stuff just for this. We are now well into the second month of it and has there been any BLUE WHITE or GRAY on this blog… I think not!! (actually I know not) This situation must be remedied!! My answer to this… I’m working on it

Monday monday…

Quick post… Thanks for all the suggestions re gift for the best. Decided on some blue sky alpaca / silk and I think clapotis. In anticipation and practice for the clappy for her I decided I needed to remove my own from time out. Why did I ever have issues?? She has been smooth sailing so far so keep your fingers crossed I would like to have her finished. Kim suggested some STR in cotton too so I think I may need to make a phone call for some of that (and maybe some of the wool stuff for knee socks?!?) I am in need of some stash enhancement therapy in a big way so…. I also finished the Lorna’s Toe ups (will post the final pic when I upload to the computer.
That’s all for now
