It's funny how I spent the entire week last week crafting away and didn't post but one entry of all my accomplishments! I made: a blanket, a pair of socks, a hat and 2 scarves. I worked and worked and really had a great time being on our hurricane vacation. It was so wonderful to sleep late, craft when I felt like it, watch TV when I wanted to, eat, play and basically relax for a week. Our weather wasn't bad (thankfully). We had rain, and a good bit of it, but none of it was so heavy or awful that we even flooded our porch (and our porch always floods).
Plus I got to bring Lochi home, so that was wonderful. She's been being spoiled rotten. I told David last night that in our attempt to make her last few months nice, we'll probably be spoiling her for 8 more years. She seems to be doing well, btw. Her cold is slowly going away and she is getting more feisty and energetic.
Other than that, there really wasn't much to "report" from the time off for the hurricane. I don't want to have another break like that, but it was nice that we could actually enjoy it and not fret and worry about everything.
Today's picture is of some maroon socks I started for my friend's dad. He wanted ankle socks, so I've already turned the heel and am working on the foot. I LOVE Malabrigo yarn--their sock is amazing...and so soft. They make a heavenly pair of socks.
Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the name of the yarn color you used for the socks above? My mom purchased one skein of that exact yarn about a year ago but didn't keep any of the information, I'm trying to hunt down something similar to make her a scarf.
Thanks,
Melissa
It's Malabrigo Sock Yarn in the color StoneChat. Good luck finding it!
