Loose ends

I started this little sweater way back in February. I just needed something bright and challenging - and a pink lacy cardigan was perfect. But not too challenging so I knit it Becky-size .



It's been hibernating for a while now while I got up the motivation to actually sew it together. ( I'm sure there must be a whole group of people out there who prefer to finish items.) But last week, I had a shock. I've left it to steep too long...Becky has moved on.



She told me that she loves purple now - and pink has fallen right out of her color wheel!

I will finish it, though. When she sees how pretty it is and how soft and light...how could any little girl refuse?

Withdrawal

All this administrative stuff is definitely giving me serious sock withdrawal. Last night I dreamed of beautiful lacy socks. They were bright green which looked way prettier in my dream than they do in my memory this morning. All the lace was complicated and varied. I doubt I could ever reproduce it. There were many different sections - all done in different lace patterns. I remember that they weren't regular sections and some were very swirly.

But the best part was that I was being tutored in how to knit socks on two circular needles by none other than Cat Bordhi! Since this is a technique I've never tried, I can only take the dream to be an omen of where I should go next in the sock journey.
