well it is officially the first of august, and i am swatching...and i think my worsted is more of a light worsted and i'm gonna have to either get a different yarn, or double up to get gauge for rogue. blah! i may be ordering more. but what the heck is this color??? its either lichen, prarie sage or colorado range! i got it from the bargain bins at brown sheep in nebraska at the beginning of the summer, and ta da! no labels. no telling what color it is. but its pretty and i like it! see my stash at the bottom of the page. time to make a trip to lys to compare with color cards...wish me luck. oh, i guess had better wait un morning. they might not appreciate a midnight visit! wait, nevermind. i think i can make it work...i'll have to knit on 7's which i don't want to do, but maybe it will be ok. get me used to knitting more open fabrics. see i hate knitting loosey goosey stuff. i'm not a tight knitter. i just don'tlike the way loose knit looks. might have to get someone to hold my hand!!! see i usually knit worsted weight on 6's or 5's, so this will be tough. but maybe i can do it. cross my fingers. hell cross your fingers too, i'll need all the help i can get.
ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...
