Hi everyone! I hope all is well with you this week. We're just plugging along and working hard. We didn't do much this weekend. I think I've mentioned before but we're turning our basement into a tiki bar. It's a ton of work, but so fun. We worked on that a bit this weekend and hung out with a friend that was in town from the Bay area (San Fransisco).
I've been working a ton of my secret project, but I've also been doing a little knitting. As you can see, I'm speeding right along on my Jolly Roger Shawl I'm still insanely in love with it. I just moved it to a 32" cable as it was super tight on the 24". I'm using Candy Skein Savory fingering in Oyster and Pumpkin Spice.
I've also been working on the Sockhead I'm making my brother in law for Christmas. It got thrown to the side for awhile, but I'm back at it again. I'm on the decreases, so I figured it's almost an FO. I'll post it soon.
That's it for me. I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your week. Hopefully I can post a finished object on Friday!
Hi everyone. I hope all is well with you. We're doing pretty good over at my house this week, as my husband has found a new job that he is super excited about. I haven't talked about it, but the studio he worked for closed a few months ago and he's been out of work. In his line of work, that's not unusual, but it will doesn't help matters. In the end it worked out great and I'm so excited for him.
Before I get to WIPW, I have a few things to comment on besides the new job. First, next week I'll be scheduling WIPW and FO Friday (probably) in advance. I'm extremely busy getting ready for the Vista Fiber Fiesta which is October 12-13, and we're taking a few days off to celebrate the new job.
Hockey season is back. For those who have followed me the past few years understand how excited this makes me. Life just doesn't feel right when it isn't hockey season. Now all is perfect again with the start of the NHL season last night and my LA Kings playing their first game tomorrow. I can't wait.
How many of you watched Broadchurch? I don't want to give spoilers, but HOLY SMOKES. We just finished the series and my mind if blown. I suspected who it was for a fleeting moment several episodes back and then completely dismissed it right away. I'm so glad it wasn't in left field, but then again, wow. I also have to admit that I balled at the last episode. Heart wrenching. That has to be one of the best programs on television today and I hope the series 2 is just as good (I also hope that David Tennant is back). I'd love to go back and watch it all again, as now that I think back, I see signs of who the killer was. Crazy.
Okay, now on to WIPW...
I'm making the Harvest Dew socks, a pattern I've had in my queue on Ravelry for AGES. In fact, I think it may be one of the first knitted sock patterns I added to my queue way back when. I've always wanted to make it but never found the proper yarn until now. I'm using my October '13 colorway for Candy Skein, Candy Corn. The pattern is perfect, as the "dew drops" kinda look like candy corn, don't they? I'm so in love with these and they're flying by. I started them Sunday night during World War Z (which we thought was pretty good!) and then knit a little on Monday night at my knitting group and then a few minutes during the hockey game today. I'm about half way (or a little more) don't with the leg.
Here is what Candy Corn looks like in the skein! Awesome, right?
That's it for me today. I hope you all have a great rest of the week!
