The most exciting thing is that I finished my socks! I really enjoyed working with this pattern and yarn. The dark yarn wasn't always the best when working backstage but it felt amazing in my hands. I haven't snapped a picture of them yet. In fact, I didn't even block them. I wove in the ends and wore them the next day! They were so comfortable and lovely.
With the socks done, I decided to work on a new project. It's probably been a couple of years now, but I had asked my sister what she might want and if she'd be interested in a cowl. Once she discovered what this would look like, she got really excited. She lives the in the Middle of Nowhere (also known as North-east Montana) and it gets cold there. I'm finally getting around to doing it (she doesn't seem to mind or to have remembered that I said I'd make it). I sent her this picture asking if it was an okay color combination. She replied enthusiastically in favor of them. It's also a test knit, which I enjoy doing. It also holds me to a time table. This way she'll actually get it before it becomes too cold up there.
There is potentially more but those are the main things I want to write about at the moment. Sundays are hard days for me to decide to sit in front of a computer as I have roller derby practice in the afternoon. If I was truly wise, I would write this before then but that makes too much sense!
