Saw this on another knitting blog, good for keeping track. Fiance has commented lately that I've been knitting to the point that I'm unavailable, so I might have to tone it down a little, it's just that I'm so excited about my current knitting project for knit/purl that I can't put it down, plus I've got an amazing queue of Handmaiden Flaxen yarn, Malabrigo lace, adorable sock yarn from Lid and 50/2 silk to decide on a pattern for. There's no way for him to understand how excited I am about knitting.

Right now I've got a pattern from Amimono, by Isager. It's knit holding four strands in Moss stitch, and it's amazing to watch come along because I haven't worked on 10 3/4 needles for years. I don't think I've touched larger than a 6 for at least two. I feel like I'm skipping!

Wow, that was way more fun to look at than to do.

She'll be missed.

In more somber news, a couple of weeks ago when visiting Missoula, I bought the yarn for my veil from Joseph's coat. It's pure undyed silk, 50/2. I'd talked to the owner, Susannah, a couple of weeks before. H Tess let me know yesterday that Susannah passed away. She worked at her yarn shop until the day she died, constantly surrounded by visitors, friends and her ever present hundlein. A good life. She was an interesting and interested woman.

Oh man...

Not nearly enough knitting these days. Still working on Mom's Mother's Day socks, now about 1/4 of the way on sock #2.

After a morning of indolence, I decided that since my downstairs roommates have left for the summer, their den would make perfect yarn storage. I put away yarn that I had no plans for and organized my knitting needles. I was v. happy to discover that I have nearly ever size of 16" circular needles, almost of full run of longer circulars, (including, very strangely two 10 3/4) and all dpns minus 4 & 5. AND. I now own my very own crochet hook! My first, currently only for provisional cast-ons, but I have a few balls of dk cotton that my roommate gave to me that might make a nice washcloth? Or whatever a good first crochet project is...
