Paying the bills…

Sock on a rock!

Really quick.. I used some yarn that Lynn Markman sent me.. some really pretty stuff, and made a sock on my little knitting board! It looks pretty good.. I need to make the second one.. I only brought 1 ball of the yarn with me.. and I need to make some more to tweak it a little.. but I think it will turn out nicely. It of course, being double knit, is a house sock.. or as I prefer to call it a Catskills Cottage Sock! See it already has a name!

 

Lynn’s yarn is so nice. It is really springy which makes it a winner for loom knitting.. and from what she tells me this is her ribbon winning yarn from the fair. It won for the dye work on the skeins. It is pretty. A black and blue barber pole effect and the blue has some variation in tone lighter and darker.. which makes it even more interesting! I give it two thumbs up myself!! So if you get a chance to try Lynn’s yarns do it!!

Blogging on the front Porch

Well I am sitting here on the front porch enjoying the view. The sliders are taking off and landing at the air port across the street. Nice and quiet. sigh! Brian is working hard! He likes his office this week: It has a nice view.

 

Didn’t get to knit on the drive since I did most of the driving and today was spent on a shopping trip with just the girls. So knitting later! I have a few things I want to try out!
