Good Morning my Friends!
It is a pretty and sunny morning here with temps forecast to get up to 74. Ahhhh, this is the kind of Spring weather I really like. Cool evenings - great for sleeping and then warm (but not HOT) days.
The birds were quite noisy this morning and I woke up a little early. So, as one does, I put the coffee on, fed Mabel and then pulled out my knitting. And voila! My Panning for Gold socks are now finished.
I love everything about these socks. The yarn is from Twisted Owl Studios in Longview, TX (I don't believe they are in business now) and was bought at a fiber festival for only $11 per skein! The color way is Gold Panning and the yarn is 75/25 SW Merino and Nylon. There is still 27 grams of the yarn left - so plenty to use in a scrappy cowl or for heels and toes on another pair of socks. They knit up quickly (for me) and now I need to figure out what yarn for my next pair of socks!
Most likely I won't figure out what sock yarn to knit with next until tomorrow night or over the weekend. I have a yoga class tonight so will not have time to dive into the stash. But, no rush. I have a book I'm reading plus severeal volumes of poetry that will go into my bag when I drive to Colin's this morning.
Yesterday was a fun day with Iris. Zhongren came over in the morning for a couple of hours to play with Iris. Although I was right there, it gave me a bit of a break. Plus, it was just nice to have time with Zhongren to chat (Colin was in the office room on a number of conference calls).
Now I'm in need of some more coffee and perhaps a clementine or two! Have a wonderful Thursday.
Those are marvelous socks, Vera! And a great way to use your "free time" in the early hours. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful socks and you finished them quickly! Iris is a lucky little girl to have so many people caring for her.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great looking socks! And what a great price. When I think how much I spend on making a pair sometimes it feels ridiculous. I would never pay $30 for a pair of socks but I'll plunk down more than that on the yarn...lol.
