the Mother's Day Sox

a naughty dog dreams of some Regia of her own instead of the funky sock stuffed with old pantyhose she has for a toy...

better finish my veggies...

The weather is finally getting warmer! I worked most of the day yesterday in my shirt sleeves. By afternoon, though, it was back to the breezy chill off the Lake and back into a sweater.

I had my ancient blue jean jacket with me, but I love being wrapped in my own personal *binkie*.

Being a person of great knitting discipline (heh), even though my couch is covered with summer yarn from the deep marination chamber, even though I read pattern books before I fall asleep like a child with a beloved fairytale, I WILL FINISH WHAT I START!

Of course, that means the Camp Jacket. AND, the fab Black Ribby Cardie I started way back when, needs just a few inches to take the catwalk. After working a few rows on the body, I joined the sleeves and addded another inch on the yoke.

A recent Ribby premiere over at Claudia's now has me mind waffling: Zipper or Big Snaps???

Check out her entries from May 5th and April 24th. SHE SPUN The YARN HERSELF!!!

Bus ta Sox

The Dzined Yarn Spring Sox are 3/4 done. I've been knitting like a zombie on the #66. AND, how does a zombie knit? ANSWER: sit in very crowded tri-seat and hold your bag on your lap and just move your hands and fingers. I'm a *thrower*, so it's more like Frankenstein Continental.

The Dutch Heel flap is 3 rows from done, then I'll turn the heel & pick up the gusset stitches on Sock 2. This magic moment is the best so far in sock making for me. Up until that point, they look a lot like Voodo Wristwarmers and really not too interesting.

But turn the Heel and BAM! It's a sock!

When people on the bus remark on it, they always say with wonder in their voice, "It looks like a sock!"

Heh...

Yeah. It's even MAGIC to complete strangers...

the Winner

Why I Like Snaps:

They are Big!

They are easy to put in!

They are chic!

They were in the buy bin and a double-ended opening zipper wasn't!

They let me close just one place on my cardie instead of having the whole thing closed...
