| Road trip yarn |
The socks totally rock!!! Fell in love love love with them. Went straight to my LYS to buy the yarn. The pattern came from Knitty. And I love them!!! The yarn I chose is in the picture above. It has a shimmer yarn running through it. Can't wait to wear them.
Another finished UFO. The vest was a KAL from 2009. It was right at the time my husband was diagnosed with his cancer. As an experienced knitter, I found the pattern confusing and put it away. I found it last week, and sat down to read the pattern again. I thought I would be totally unable to do it with out help from my LYS. Well, as soon as I started, it seemed like I was halfway through it and then ready to bind off!!! What a difference a year and a healthy husband make!!! I enjoyed the yarn and the pattern is a quick knit. A few of the things the designer does, seems, not necessary. I feel she made it harder than it needed to be, for such a simple pattern. The good thing, One more UFO off the list!
This scarf, is for my favorite oncology nurse. He wanted something " Loud and Proud". He's getting it. And it has love knitted in every stitch. The pattern is an "Ann Norling" pattern. Super fast and fun. I may use it for another scarf. The noro yarn offered great colors and is very bright. The softness makes it a perfect scarf.
Finally, what beach vacation does not include books!!! Both books are great reads!! I have started both at various times, during hospital times. But they were put down. Also my comprehension of either at that time is slim to none. So, I look forward to finishing them.
So, its time now to go and purchase shoes worthy of Disney. I mean, that won't make my feet hurt!
Enjoy your lazy Saturday afternoon. Knit a little, read a little, but most of all smile a little!!! Peace out my knittin peeps!
