Here is the latest pic of the progress on the tulip socks. I am having fun knitting them and have yet to come up with an opinion on the color combo. I don’t really care actually!
I am not a fan of short row heels. I feel they don’t have the stability & long wear of a flap heel. But I did them anyways, I wanted to at least follow the pattern mostly. I did do wrapped stitches instead of just turning the short rows. I like being able to pick up the wrap with the stitch instead of a bar from the stitch below. Less messy in my eyes. Still not my favorite heel.
Knitting was great fun last night! I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Lots of good ideas, fun seeing new projects & Rachel was there!! Yay! We haven’t seen her for close to 9 months, that is one long time!
Now Erin has told me there is a possibility of me buying a used spinning wheel from a woman in the guild. That has occupied my mind since the moment she told me! What do I need to sell to come up with the extra money for it??? My first born? My last born?? Totally joking, of course!
Tracy & I are going up north (again) this weekend for a wedding on Sunday, my friend Alison & her fiance Ross. It will be at a wonderful winery in the foothills on a fabulous early summer day! Forecast of 90 but that is doable. I will take my camera & see what wonderful shots of the wedding, winery, Tracy & I, I can manage to eek out. I removed the one button I had placed on the short’n’sweet and now there are 2 buttons so it’s much more form fitting. I promise to post a pic of me wearing it. Not that you are all dying to see it but I thought I would try to impress you with my gorgeousness anyway!
Everyone have a lovely weekend!
