Jen's Jaywalkers have been frogged. Again. I reknit in Lombard Street, from the newest Magknits. It's not a huge sock, but Jen (unlike me) does not have huge feet. Really fun pattern, easy and quick. Here's the first one, in Knitpicks Dancing (Two-Step). Her mate is also done.
Based on my weekend, I think I'll have to purchase a timeshare in the frog pond. Spent some pretty serious time there this weekend.
- Regia blanket is history. Not pretty or soft enough. I'll make socks with the yarn.
- I knit and frogged an entire Baudelaire. Loved the yarn. (Cherry Tree Hill Supersock, a gift from my mom who, unlike me, is really great about sharing her mill ends). Loved the pattern. However, the pattern was lost in the colour changes, and the colour changes were lost in the pattern. We should all go out and get some nice solid yarn to do a pair.
For the first time in years, I found myself without a single project on the needles. Not a one. Felt great. Lasted five minutes. Cast on a consolation sock in Regia (which I have since finished) and Pomatomus number 13.
On a non-knitting note, we paid our respects to my beloved grandmother this weekend. She passed away at the age of 92 on September 5, 2004. This very old photo is a family favourite:
This photo was taken three summers ago and represents four generations of females in our family. Alzheimer's Disease robbed Grandma of her understanding of this poignant moment, but I will never forget it.
We love you, Dede.
I love the photos of your Grandma. May she rest in peace. My Mom died of Alzheimers Disease 2 years ago and I know how hard it is to watch your loved one slip away.
The Diamante socks in Knitty are gorgeous. I must make them!
