While knitting progress is being made, I will spare you the endless stream of boring photos showing Otto’s growth, snail’s pace that it is. There is probably nothing more deadly than a series of photos, each showing one or two more inches progress on an adult sized sweater, and not a particularly small one at that.
Instead I will show you new pretties.
Apparently the Prize Patrol over at Claudia’s Blog has been very busy and my package arrived yesterday. Surprised as I was to actually win something, I feel like a double winner here, Claudia works hard for a good cause and I get yarn! Heather sent me two skeins of handspun singles in a color called "jamberry" from pippikneesocks .
Aren’t they lovely. I think I am smitten. We are however still in the very early stages of courtship and no creative decisions have yet been made. At the moment the yarn and I are content that the yarn should simply sit decoratively while I gaze upon it.
But back to more practical knitting. Shall I finish the first Otto front on the way up to Lenox this afternoon? Will I start the second pink sock? I am inclining toward the sock but there is much to do before now and then. I will not do the fiddly figure 8 cast on in the car so that will be the deciding factor. If I have time to get started before we depart, the socks will go for a ride. If not, Otto.
