1 down, 1 to go

I got my first Rhubarber Simple Sock done - it was such a speedy knit after the picot edge. I used an Eye of the Partridge heel and love how the colors seem to peek out between, it looks truly variegated though the sock itself seems more stripey. The Wollmeise was a pleasure to knit and the finished project positively hugs my foot. It is tightly spun and creates a beautiful, unencumbered fabric - no little pills or wooly bits - just smooth. I have the picot cuff done on the second - and since I have been suffering such a severe case of one-sock-itis, I would call that a success.

Now, being ADD, I need another project to knit up while I work on my sock. I recently got some Hello Yarn fat sock in Plunge - which I think will make a cute little Saartje Booties for a baby boy to be, and maybe an itty bitty hat. I have been admiring this pair. They are just so darn cute, and isn't the button choice just right?


The weather continues to swelter here in Wisconsin - massive humidity. So we are working on inside projects this week. I read Susie's post about her funky flip flop idea and thought I needed to buy a potholder loom for our house. So reminiscent of childhood. I can remember making up so fancy potholders - wonder whatever happened with those? Anyways, it is a sweet little bit of solitude to weave up a little something with the fun cotton loops. I have already been surfing for refills - this is addicting - for my 7-year-old of course...this is the best $4.99 I have spent in a long time. Thank you Susie for reminding me of this cool project!

and yes, we are still in our jammies at 2:30.
