So I actually started the socks a while ago kind of. I mean I did the ribbing and ripped it out err twice I think. Plus I was sort of all consumed with the sweater. As previously stated I also do other things when I could be knitting..I know I’m a heretic. Anyway I love the jaywalkers pattern. Easy to memorize and yet fun since I always want to see how the next row is going. I had to stop though since I cut up my finger pretty badly on monday while slicing a bagel and size one addis and a bloody thumb just were not a good idea. It’s healed enough now that I can resume though. I’m using mountain colors in the yellowstone colorway. Anyway…

I also started a wee little sophie bag for grandma last night. I should finish it today or tomorrow. I have a bit of time but I want to make sure its nice since its her 85th birthday and there is going to be a big family party. Yee that picture really is a crime against photography but the color is pretty close if a bit bright. I’m using cascade 220.

I also started trying to work on my cousins hat cause you know June is certainly the time when we need alpaca hats. They are so nicely you know cooling. But alas it was not to be. I’m going to play around with different needles and/or double stranding to see if that makes it better but it was sort of too limp. Maybe some ribs too. I mean I know alpaca is more limp than wool but it was very very very limp so I might need to find a different yarn. I was seduced by the manly yet varigated shades of the yarn. I really hope it works out one way or another since I have zero use for it otherwise.
