I meant to post this yesterday, however I’m … ok I’m NOT going to complain about being busy. The dreaded B word. It’s annoying. Sorry!
However, ta da! I finished these socks during my holiday away in the US with Yoshimi. Here is the incriminating evidence of me in the act of conversational knitting while in San Francisco with Shams and Yoshimi… and I can assure you we’re actually sitting in our air bnb here and I’m NOT actually humiliating us all while out in public..
I took my bamboo needles away with me, because I knew airlines are ok with skinny little bamboo needles. However I did not knit one single stitch while on the plane!! Nope, upon getting on the plane I proceeded to watch movies, eat dinner, sip champagne, and sleep. I did absolutely nothing constructive whatsoever. Ha!
it’s a tough life but somebody’s gotta do it
meanwhile, at home ahem… #thePerilsofBeingaPetOwningKnittingBlogger
I bought the sock yarn while I was in Japan in April… it’s Opal yarn in the Van Vincent Gogh “Vase of Sunflowers” colour way 5432; and the pattern is kinda my own, heavily adapted basic sockette pattern in a Patons pamphlet from the 60’s, no C11. I completely adore the warm swampy mossy yellowy, browny greens. So very moi.
Before I drag out ye olde updated box of socks picture, I just want to put up this picture Tim sent through.. I’m rather thrilled he’s still wearing that outfit for Hallowe’en!!
Also I thought I’d share here my own Hallowe’en post for this year although you could not call this a costume, it’s just an outfit that I would wear on any other day. Sophie makes the whole thing, imo… that darling little powder puff.
And now… finally. Le box of socks is looking rather gorgeous, I reckon!!
