Oh Yeah.... I Have A Blog

Ha... sometimes I forget about my blog. I do like my blog, but I am ever so much better about keeping up with my flickr and now, my Ravelry pages. I've had a somewhat busy November. Work, gearing up for the holidays and little spats of general feeling-under-the-weatherness have kept me pretty well entertained. I managed a very quick two day trip to Seattle over Thanksgiving with Jeff to see his family. We stayed at the Westin with his sister Paula. It was fun- I got to see/do fun touristy Seattle things I hadn't managed in previous trips. There's a flickr set if anyone wants a peek.
Of all things, I've been knitting socks lately. I discovered knitting two socks on two circulars and I am in love. I get a pair at the end. It's quite fun. Without further ado- Pair number one.

Charade Socks. I used Artyarns Ultramerino 4 in colour 131 and size 1 needles. These took about a week to make. I love them. I still haven't worn them. I might give them away so right now they are at Harmony as a sample while I decide. 

Pair number two are the Waving Lace Socks from Favorite Socks.

The yarn is Zen Strings Bambewe and I used size 0 needles. I'm really enjoying the two at a time thing and have more pairs planned- right after I finish a big secret project I'm working on.
