I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth, it’s just been busy hereabouts. Today I am cleaning like mad in preparation for having Em’s party here tomorrow. It’s like bailing out the Titanic with a Dixie cup. Still, I persevere.
It occurs to me that I haven’t shown these. These are Ann Budd’s Flame Wave socks from Interweave Press’ “Favorite Socks” book. 56 stitch caston, Cascade Fixation. I’m using size 4 and 3 needles instead of the recommended 5 and 4, as I am a loose knitter. It’s going quickly but the bulk of my time is still taken up with Jayne hats.
Speaking of, if Brown Sheep doesn’t ship out their yellow yarn soon, I’m going to road trip to Nebraska to dye it myself. The lack of yellow yarn is officially holding up the works now. Fortunately I have four acrylic hats in a row, but I’m on number four, and then I’ll have to resort to calling all over the state and driving hither and yon for odd skeins. It’s not an efficient use of resources, but time and Jayne hats wait for no man.
Okay, cleaning calls. If I’m not back by tomorrow, call the Coast Guard.
