New Socks



Here are the Circle of Friendship socks that were the Amazing Threads sock of the month for January. I forgot to use the re-enforcing thread on the second toe, but I think I will live. I can't really tell when wearing them. I went to pick up the Feb. socks, and found out that they have switched to every other month! I was pretty bummed, but I have other socks to knit. I will attempt toe up socks using Wendy's detailed toe up pattern. I have also started Janet & Charlie's wedding afghan. There was much cursing during the cast on, but things are going along swimmingly now. The size 17 needles are a little big to be comfortable to knit with, but on the other hand it makes the knitting go really quickly.

Not much going on in other news, back to work tomorrow. Things should be settled down a bit since inventory will finally be over.

Here is what the crabapple tree looked like a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was really beautiful. Enjoy.
