summer knitting

Last Saturday I went to the DMV to renew my license. Naturally, I had to visit a yarn store in the area. I don't need any yarn! But, I was drawn in by the silky blue and green shades of this sock yarn, Tofutsies from SWTC. A friend has a birthday coming up in August and I think these will make a perfect gift.
Progress on my shrug is moving along but now that it's about two feet long I'm feeling the heat of summer more and more. Knitting with that much wool in my lap is not very comfortable and another good reason to knit a pair of socks.


So much of Los Angeles is kind of flat. In the summer even more so, this view from my back door is not very interesting but I like it because it feels so typical of my town.

Thanks for all the input on wrist injuries it was really helpful.

progress

Much progress has been made on the leg since yesterday; it is almost time for the heel.

happy stripes

Self-striping sock yarn is yesterday’s news. I am late, very late indeed to the party but I can still be happy about arriving at all. The simple pleasure of watching the stripes appear with no effort on my part is making me happy and working its magic charm.
