First, thank you to all the readers that left such nice comments about my sock yarn stash. Someday I hope to show socks out of it all.<\/p>\n

Second, I can knit again!! My shoulder and arm took their sweet time, but they did unkink and by Saturday I could knit with impunity. I spent my weekend knitting time working on a sock:<\/p>\n

<\/a>
I started this grey-charcoal marl because I wore a hole in one of my last pairs of purchased grey socks. I didn’t think this would be an exciting knit, but I am really enjoying knitting these socks. The cable pattern with the garter stitch detail (Gingerbread #105, Vogue Knitting Stitchionary 2: Cables<\/i>) is really fun and easy to knit. I’ve noticed that a lot of people switch the orientation of the cable for the second sock to make a mirror image, but I don’t think I am going to do that. When I get dressed in the morning, I don’t want to have to figure out which sock goes on which foot. I tried to take a close up of the cables:<\/p>\n

Last night, I decided that I needed to work on the La Gran cardi as I’m on the last piece (right front). Something went horribly wrong with the second buttonhole as I ended up with TWO<\/b> holes! I have no idea what I did, but I needed to rip out 2 rows, which with mohair was NOT<\/b> fun (just trying to work down to the buttonhole and fix it did not work for me–I had really messed up). Then I very carefully<\/i> redid the buttonhole and ended up with just one hole. Whew! I want to get this sweater done in October so I can devote November to the ruby Diamond Fantasy Shawl<\/a> and my Black Purl lace scarf<\/a>. Plus I want to knit more socks, more scarves, the brocade jacket, etc., etc. I guess this means I should stop blogging and get knitting.<\/p>\n

But before I sign off, last evening’s sunset was so pretty here, I have to show it to you. Don’t you think the colors would make a good sock yarn!<\/p>\n
