Socks for Thing 2, the second sock is done!

Crochet square for Liberty Crochet Mural.  Today I mailed my square to Vermont. 

WIPs

Socks for Thing 1 – I knit socks for him for Christmas and already they don’t fit.  

Songe d’été – Ravelry Link (Summer Dreams) designed by Dreaming In Chocolate Designs, knit using Linea Pura Unico yarn by Lana Grossa (discontinued) 

Davit designed for Berroco by Amy Palmer, knit using Silk Noir by Great Adirondack Yarn Co bought at Rhinebeck last year. I’ve reached the short rows for the back, I’m nearly done!

Find Your Fade designed by Andrea Mowry, knit in Midori Bamboo from The Fiber Lady in a discontinued colorway, plus cotton/bamboo sportweight from Great Adirondack Yarn Co.  

Knitting Fail

About ½ an inch down I’d missed the dropped YO and that made a corner I didn’t want.  

Spinning

More progress on my current spin, some beautiful green lightly-speckled cotton from Buchanan Fiber. 

On the Run

Not much fitness this week.  I pulled a muscle.  Did you know you have muscles in between each of your ribs?  I totally didn’t.

I’ve Got Sunshine

We’ve had lovely weather the last few weeks, so I pulled out my deck planters early and put a few pansies in them and it’s really cheered me up.
