No solids KAL

-
KAL started March 1st, no solid colours. Well goodness knows I had enuff odds of variegated and self striping sock yarns to go ahead without getting into any new skeins.
Also have 4 other pairs on the needles, a blue greeny pair, a light blue, the famous leftover greens pair and a dark purple, work a few rows on each every day. I don't usually have so much on the go but what can I say it just happened. Keeping fingers crossed that the March weather brings in an early spring, just barely freezing now at night. Nothing else much new and excitingly different in my wild mountain valley.

    Glad you are beginning to warm up a bit. We live in Texas where it's supposed to be warm and we have been having freezing at night for several weeks. Lots of plants are being lost, even some trees. This is the second February in a row with a long deep freeze! This week is supposed to be warmer; fingers crossed.

    That sock is really lovely! Like a flame in the midst of green hills.

    Love this sock start! I am a sucker for these "crayola" colors, they are so cheerful and will go with anything. Our weather here in North Carolina is sorta rollercoaster - 85 a couple of days ago and 50s today. Oh well, it's spring. Take care and stay well.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
