I kitchenered the toe of Easter Egg sock #2 last evening and immediately tossed them into the suitcase to come along to Nashville, TN. It's a short trip - not fiber related. Day job related, but that's okay. It was a tough decision whether to fly or drive. It's that funny distance, where flying and driving take about the same amount of time. But flying was less expensive and you can't knit while you drive. you can read and listen to music & the radio, but really it was the knitting that was the decision maker.
It's funny that I called these Easter Egg socks, when I could have called them natural, organic socks. Oh? in those funky pastels? Compare the colors here with my friend Laura's organic orangey-beige and pale green eggs from her own chickens. I particlularly like how she arranged them in the carton in the checkerboard fashion. Spring, when the young chicken's fancy turns to making more chickens!
Even before these were completely finished, on Friday evening I cast on for another pair of socks. This time they are a multicolored blue-green with a silver glitter thread that runs through it.
Berroco Sox Metallic in the Acai (1361) colorway, probably. It had lost its label so I took it in barter at my local yarn shop. I'm knitting the
Blueberry Waffle Socks for maybe the 10th time. Even on size 1 & 2, I'm blasting through it. I am knitting the gusset on sock #1. I am writing this post in the Charlotte airport as I wait for my next flight. I could be knitting you know, but in the interest of possible delays, I thought I'd check my email and dash off a few words. But not to be underyarned on this trip, I took this yarn and yarn for another pair of something a bit fancier. Alter all, you never know what might happen and you need more yarn.
