Attention deficit knitting
Since hoodie is done, I'm sort of aimless in the knitting. I also have way more wool leftover than I thought I would, but it is nice, so I'm sure I can find a use for it. I've started 2 projects, but they're both on stupid small needles so I'm getting somewhat discouraged.
I thought I'd start some socks for Mr. Sly using leftover hoodie wool...here's a start:
The sock pattern from the sock page is really good, I think, and the resulting socks look alot like the ones that my late aunt in Finland used to send us.
I've also started the damned cardigan from Stitch 'n Bitch with the mohair trim...it is slow going.
Seems kind of dumb though...it's really nice outside, but I don't know what to do out there. Ah well, I have the whole weekend of fun in the sun at the Northern Lights Festival Boreal, which is a leisurely walk from my place. I'm particularly excited about seeing Ryan Bishops and the Bender Brothers, Sarah Harmer, and Jorane. Woo!

Yippee! Holy projects batman - you are da bomb! P.S. No need to feel guilty about spending time indoors on a beautiful day - that's the beauty of being an adult! I say, enjoy summer however you want to spend it, no regrets, 'cause summer will be over before you know it!
I'm super psyched about NLFB this weekend. I am all in to all of it!!
P.S. Good guitar lesson tonight ... learned the secrets of Me and Julio, as well as Harvest Moon.
Hey--just dropped in, and I see there's a flurry of activity over here. Socks, and slogans, and sweaters with mohair-oh my!
Best of luck with the socks, I've been contemplating heading into that direction as well; I hope it bodes well for you. I like how you've referred to the socks' future owner as Mr. Sly.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sauce - thanks! You are so right...funny how the guilt is always there ("why are you inside on a beautiful day like today"). I still need to hear your Ani song - don't think I've forgotten. Ser.
Anna - have a great weekend...you guys are festivaling it as well? Should be fun! This will be my second pair of socks; the first ones I made were easy and fun, so I'll try my hand at "man" socks. Have a great weekend!
