Happy Monday!!
Happy Monday! (or something like that). I had my stash exchange this weekend. Not too many people showed up. Two + me = three to be exact. But it was fun. I exchanged magenta colored Cascade 220 for several skeins of sport weight yarn (kind of a grey color) and two skeins of a heavy worsted weight yarn in a lavender color from Canada. I made choc. covered strawberries and we had red wine. Very female and very fun. Husband and son left early on for the movie 300. I think that I definitely came out ahead on that one. I think that I will make Husband some socks from the grey sport weight yarn and still don't know what I am going to do with the lavender stuff yet. But I am sure that I will think of something.
I finished my sock of the month club sock this weekend (finally) and started one from a different yarn. Well, actually it is the second one of a pair that I started several weeks ago. Do you do that? I mean knit one sock set it aside and then start another one, only to come back to the first after you finished the second? Someone told me that this method was one way to avoid getting bored with the color that you are currently woking on. I don't know if I like it because I don't get to wear the socks until I finish both. The yarn is Claudia & Co. from the Loopy Ewe (www.loopyewe.com) and is terrific!! Red, gray, maroon, pink. All kinds of fun shares. It is similar in texture to Koigu, but more indy than that. I really like how it is knitting up.
How was your weekend? P.
