Socks

I don’t remember when I bought this yarn, but I remember specifically seeing it on the shelf and knowing that it had to be cabled socks. And I’m finally getting to it.

Both cuffs are done and I’ve started down one leg. It’s an extremely bizarre color. I can’t decide if it’s purplish, gray, green, or if I even like it… but I know I’ll like the socks.

And speaking of socks, my friend Carol from Knit Me Up is starting a sock club inspired by the Twilight books and characters. Her yarn is great. She negotiated with mills to get it spun to her specifications, and it’s lovely.

Yesterday, Clark and I went out. I decided to go at his own pace, and let him walk everywhere, so it took a very long time, but it was really fun. We first went to the library where I picked up some nice books.

That Cables Untangled is looking pretty cool. I might need to buy one.

So, I’ve been thinking, (and I’m going to need to be a little cryptic because of some adolescents that peruse), about knitting a few small shoulder shawls for some upcoming, spring commencements of age. If you get me.

I think they would be well received, and wouldn’t take too much effort. I was thinking of the Shetland Triangle from Wrap Style, the Angel Shawl, also by Evelyn Clark, and perhaps the Flower Basket if I don’t find another. Any suggestions?
