News, I have news....

New socks for Sweet Pea 1

They are BRIGHT though....get your sunglasses ready. The stripes don't match either, but he doesn't care and neither do I. He wanted "no show" socks, so that is what I did. I knit a linen stitch heel for these as part of my Ravelry group Sock Knitters Anonymous bi-monthly challenge. I like the heel quite a bit.







And a surprise.....

















I've been bitten by the spinning bug....so I researched and read and researched some more and ended up with a very nice Kromski Minstrel spinning wheel. We're getting to know each other well.

Ooooh. Pretty.

The possibilities for increasing your stash have just doubled. "Would you like that spun, or unspun?"

I love your socks! I especially love that they *don't* match each other, exactly. I do this on purpose with my socks.

Spinning? Ooooohhh you're gonna love it. I know I do.

Cheers!
