Yesterday morning, I decided it was time that I wound up some yarn that has been sitting in my baskets, neglected. I also forgot that my sister had asked me to wind up some Cascade yarn for her months ago.
Finding that yarn (finally .. I was starting to panic!), I got that all wound up and put back into her baggie for to pick up after she so nicely dropped off Tylenol for my kids yesterday morning.
Then I moved on to the four skeins of yarn I had sitting around here. One of those skeins was Punk Rock Girl from Little Turtle Knits and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.
So I did a little research on Ravelry and decided that I wanted to make myself some ankle socks.
I am now knitting up Breeze from Knitty and I love how fast it is going. I am working on a thicker weight than fingering ... so probably DK or sport and it is knitting up pretty quickly. The downfall will be that this won't show off the cable/YO patterns as much as the pics in the pattern, but that is totally cool with me. I am planning on wearing these with my Birks, anyway.
I will take a pic of the progress of them. I am working on the first one, and have started on the instep decreases.
And that is about all the knitting love that I am feeling as of late. But it's all good.

sure tease me with punk rock girl yarn and I go there and it is all sold out....LOL! Socks are cute, I can't wait to see them done. I am working on a cardi right now. And some socks and some......LOL, the list could go on and on!
Oh yeah... I got the last one or the only one. So sorry! LOL!
It is really cool and it will be a pretty substantial sock when I am done with it. I have about 24 more pattern rows to do, then I move on to the toe.
I think I have decided that I will no longer make longer than anklet socks for me anymore. Ever since that last incident with the Fawkes and knitting for so long and then coming to the sad realization that they weren't going to work, I just had to give up on socks for a while.
Can't wait to see your cardi.
