It's all about socks

-

I'm stalled on Duxbury Point -- and I needed some relatively mindless knitting.

When I was down in Santa Fe, I indulged in a spot of Opal shopping.....Opal sock yarn that is.....

So guess what I'm knitting.....Daisy is always happy to help model.....but the socks are actually for the Hubby -- this is a major milestone for me to knit something for him for Christmas - poor guy!

I've been distracted from my knitting lately -- but I've finally figured out that it's my knitting that I need to distract me from other goings on.....so you'll be seeing more knitting soon.

Happy Knitting

    Hmmm, I cannot resist. Now you only need to knit your Hubby, that sweater he have lustered for, for years. I am very close to volunteer to do it for you....poor man!!*GRIN*

    Anne- I think Alan will be relieved that he's not getting the sweater. Don't feel too guilty, I have it on good authority that he looks terrific in a Fair Isle.

    Anne, The socks are fab, and Daisy looks great in those colours ... how about a matching jacket for her? Next Christmas maybe. Don't give up on Duxbury Point, believe it or not it does become more mindless as you go and could certainly provide a good distraction. I've finished front and back and have about 4 inches of one sleeve knitted, but doubt I will get much farther in time for Christmas. It won't be the first time DH has unwrapped a Partial Sweater on Dec 25th, lol (and BTW I did spy a box in his office with your return address on it - can hardly wait!).
    Merry Christmas and very best wishes for 2008.

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention.
