Sassy Single Sock Seeks Mate

Sassy Single Sock Seeks Mate

Single non-smoking Lorna’s Laces Sassy Stripes sock seeks same for sunny days spent in clunky black shoes and cozy nights snuggled together in the sock drawer. Weekend trips to the Spin Cycle Spa. Matching pattern not especially important, but matching gauge important. No argyles please!

Well, one sock down, one to go. Socks are my favorite subway knitting, so I figure I’ll get the second sock done exclusively on the train and dedicate the rest of my knitting time to the 15,000 other projects I have going. Well, not really that bad. It just seems I have a lot of gifts to get done in the next couple of months, but I also want to make things for me. What about MEEEEE????

Yesterday’s Fiberfest was fabulous, wonderful, awesome etc. A good time had by all. Andrea and I ogled yarn after lunch, then went to meet Staceyjoy, as planned. Her shop is terrific, full of beautiful things, and she’s just great. So glad to have met her in person.

In the evening we were joined by Sarah and Lisa, who wanted to learn to knit. It worked out perfectly because Andrea and Sarah are both lefties and Lisa and I are righties. So we split up that way and by the end of the evening both newbies had a a number of nice rows of even stockinette. Fast learners! We’re going to start a (maybe biweekly) knitting circle. Andrea and I didn’t actually get as much knitting done as we’d planned–actually none, though Andrea did try out my spinning wheel and did incredibly well–actually spinning a consistent yarn (sportweight, no less) her first time out, but it was still a great time.

I had planned to cast on today for the corset sweater from the spring Interweave, but woke up at three this morning with a sweater in my head that just had to get out. Have I entered a new stage of my knitting addiction? I’m swatching for it now and will give more details once the swatching is done.
