Pat's Knitting and Quilting
August 9 , 2007 Dave turns 56 tomorrow and he loves to be "on the road" for his birthday -SO, we're leaving in the morning to enjoy 10 days in the nice cool Green Mtns. of Vermont. Knitting plans ...
On the left is the beginnings of my "I Love Gansey" socks, which is the Six Sox KAL current pattern. I am using durable wooly Silja sock yarn (recognize this yarn Beth? Thank you!) and enjoying the pattern immensely. I was a little concerned about my choice of darkish yarn, but the stitch patterns are showing up just fine. On the right is the continuation of Setesdal. I'm nearing the end of the bright eye of the partridge heels and so far the fit is perfect! Of course, I'll be taking along this lovely pile of lace too. Clue 6 should be posted by the time we leave tomorrow, so I will try to keep up while playing in the mountains. Just in case I finish all this- HAH! (I'm not a big vacation knitter, so it probably won't happen), but just in case, I will have this gorgeous skein of yarn along for the ride.
I also want to thank the 4 great blogging pals who have passed on this award to me! I have a friend that knits with me in real life, and she recently started her very own blog. Linda (at Linda's Knitting Blog ) just began knitting in February (she could only watch me knit socks at our kids' karate class for so long, before she walked in with a skein of yarn and started knitting a scarf - she didn't stop there....) She is a wonderfully creative, experimental knitter - I cannot believe she just started knitting a few months ago! Thank you for your company and inspiration, Linda! This is a computer-free vacation so I'll see you all in a few weeks...
