I have a bunch to write about today, and I know it’s been a few days, but I’m much more in the mood to knit the groovy pair of socks I’m working on than to spend time writing an exhaustive post.
SO…. you get the digest version 🙂
First, we’re having a boy! We’re very happy.
Second, I finally got those dumb pumpkins in the ground and they’re flowering.
Third, I finished Clark’s third pair of socks, and they’re really cute and he loves them. I have enough yarn to make two more pair just like the last ones. I haven’t decided if I’m going to. However, whether or not I do, it’s going to wait because…
Fourth, I’ve started my first pair of toe-up socks with that pretty orange yarn Carol and I dyed last week.
They’re going to be goldfish socks and I’m finally knitting that fishtail lace stitch that I’ve liked for so long.
I’m feeling much better. I’m still tired, and my low back is starting to act up as my belly gets bigger. My tolerance for dairy has increased but it’s unpredictable.
School’s almost out and I’m getting really excited for summer!

Yay, congrats on the little boy-to-be! And I love the socks — the color and pattern are both gorgeous.

Yay, lucky Clark! So do you have a name yet? Bruce, maybe? Or Peter Parker? 🙂

Congrats on the news about your baby boy! How exciting! Your socks are going to be GORGEOUS! Is the fishtail lace pattern from a pattern dictionary or did you create it? I just learned the delights of toe-up socks a couple of weeks ago. I’m going to see if I can make some progress on mine now!

Congratulations on your new son! How exciting. Perhaps you can knit some little baby boy socks to match Clarke’s too. I love the color of you goldfish socks, how beautiful and the pattern is very pretty too. Are toe up socks easier than top down ones. I havent tried that technique yet.
