Sock Silliness

I finished up these socks in lieu of my Juliet because I cannot figuring out the f@#$%ing lace rows. I needed to finish something and feel like I'm a semi-competent knitter before I pick the cardigan up again.



The pattern is Candide "Ragg" Boot Socks, which is the same pattern that my mom has been using to make wool socks for ages. She photocopied it for me, and this is the first such pair that I've made. It feels nice to inherit things like that. The wool is locally produced from Riverslea Farm, one of my favorite places to support. The yarn is a beautiful blue/brown twist, and I have another colorway to knit up as well (pink/brown).



I had to share this picture of Cassie. She was watching me from the safety of her little curtain tent with this look of curiousity that seemed to say: "What the hell are you doing rolling all over the bed with your feet in the air taking pictures?"

Ah, the craziness that ensues with blogging...

P.S. My birthday is on Thursday. How am I possibly going to be 26???

P.P.S. Off to do more baking today, and then Stitch n' Bitch. Cardigan?...Hmm...I think I'll start a dishcloth instead!

Today I am grateful for a full night's sleep, after a full day of work yesterday. I'm also grateful for major kitty cuddles from Cass. I'm grateful for happy plans to Stitch n' Bitch tonight - it's one of my favorite nights of the week! What are you grateful for today?
