Snow - we got lots of snow yesterday - and we’re going to get more snow tomorrow. No question about what season it is around here :) But it’s not too bad. Since I’m spending as little time in it as I can manage, I don’t feel too annoyed about it and even I have to admit that it’s pretty.
The socks were completed Tuesday evening and delivered to dad on Wednesday morning. He seemed very pleased with them, so I was happy. There isn’t a picture because...well, because they were just dad-standard ribbed socks in charcoal wool. Really, there’s nothing to see :)
I also engaged another project the week - real pretty one too! - about which I can’t say much for now, except that it’s enabling me to use that lovely Pingouin wool/angora I lucked into a couple of weeks ago. And fun - it’s pretty and fun :) What could be better?
I’m still playing with blanket ideas too - though I think the French Tweed combined with the cream fingering weight is a definite. I like the way it looks and feels and the relatively plain panels done with it will be a restful spot between other, perhaps more elaborate and complex panels. But damn this thing is taking a long time to get under way :) Who knew there was so much thinking involved!
And like many of the rest of you, I’ve had other commitments eating up time and energy so that there isn’t a lot left over for knitting or blogging.
Chatters is on tomorrow night - regular time and place. I don’t believe my site host is planning any upgrades for tomorrow so we shouldn’t have last week’s problem :) Drop in if you can!
Otherwise, stay warm, stay safe and stay happy :)
No trackbacks yet.
I’m so glad your Dad liked the socks. I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season! :)
Thanks Opal :) I’m glad he liked them too - he’s such a picky bugger that I fretted about that all through the making.
You know, I am enjoying the season this year. I hope you and yours are likewise feeling warm and festive!
