Socks

The socks are nearly complete. Only thing left is to bind them off. Going to do a sewn bind off or something like that. I'm just going to follow the directions in the Fleegle heel sock directions. I predict that the socks are going to be a bit snug but should loosen up with wear.

My stash for wool is dwindling fast. I'm not up for enhancing stash much at the moment. It's also getting warmer. I do have some laceweight in the stash and have been thinking about a shawl. Not decided on the pattern yet.

Had fun at knit knite. Always nice to get out of the house and pet yarn that is not mine. I"m really jonesing for a skein of Malabrigo sock yarn. Might just use some birthday $ for a yarn treat.

Started going through my closet today. It's time to make the shift from winter to spring clothes. The little bit of Wardrobe Therapy I did last fall was helpful. I have an idea of how I want to approach my closet. I needed to cull a bit. Now to fill in the thin parts, er non existent parts, like shorts. Who knows I may go nuts and get a pair of Capri's or a few more dresses and go sans shorts. I do need to find a pair of everyday sandals. Hmmm.

Hey, if you and Julane want to do a shawl KAL (not necessarily the same pattern, just at the same time) this spring or summer, let me know! I'm all excited about Knit Picks new lace yarn colorways.
