It is a dark, grey rainy morning here (school starts tomorrow) so sorry no photos. Progress continues on the Amble sock. I've completed one repeat of the design on the foot, three more to go. Hopefully I'll work on it a bit this afternoon while N na

It was a nice weekend, busy but not too busy and there was napping! Saturday we went to lunch and consumed massive quantites of fried goodness. Along the way we stopped at 2 (yes, two!) yarn shops but I bought nada. I had my heart set on some sock y

Annie has extended the deadline for sending squares for the blanket project so I spent my knitting time working on two plain green ones. She's received so many beautiful fancy ones. I knit these with some acrylic yarn that was deep in the stash. I d

So I ended up going to my newish LYS, "Butterfly Yarns", and even though they didn't think they had the right size needles I found them tucked in behind the size 1s! Last night I casted on again and this time went with a 2X2 ribbing since t

It's hot, Africa hot. Everyone here is cranky and sweaty. We all need a nap but who can sleep in this heat.Believe it or not there has been knitting. I am still plugging along on the Sockapal2za sock number 2. I have turned the heel and picked up the

We're Back

We are back from our vacation. It was wonderfully relaxing and tiring at the same time. The time passed so quickly. I didn't even have a chance to knit a stitch. Since we got home I have been concentrating on the Sockapal2za sock. The leg is done and
