socks: September 2008 Archives

I've been plugging away, here and there. Working on Tundra Rib Sock siamese twin - I really must replenish my handknit sock stash before the cold weather is here. In fact, it's nibbling at my heels now. This week is going to be on the cool side. And I'm certainly going to need these in a special place soon. Yes, I get to tag along with hubby to one of those destination places where millions of tourists visit every year. It will be nice to have a mini-vacation and I'm so looking forward to it.

I have an upcoming project Lacewing Shawl by Ann Hanson. I'm supposed to make a shawl for my mother. So, I've been spinning up some nice coopworth-alpaca roving. I need 1300 yards - I hope I have enough roving to accomplish that goal. I also hope to get the spinning done before we go to that special place. Which means I'll have to get up when hubby gets up so I can spend some time with the spinning wheel. Why do I do stuff like this that end up with me getting run down ragged?
