10:45a - THURSDAY! again!
yesterday was such a beautiful day, outside. inside i was struggling much with myself and things of the like. when in doubt, cast on! i'm terribly bored with everything in my WIP basket(s), and nothing in those is from my yarn. i decided to use this
 perfect peach
turned it into this
 with my fancy ball winder.
after a few swatches, i cast on a....... a...... ................................shawl! yes, i did.
because, you know everyone is doing it.
i think i worked on it for a total of five minutes, broke the yarn off, immediately grabbing a mixed matched set of size 3's, cast on 44 stitches..... ahhhhhhhhhhh. the old stand by, my comfort food of knitting. socks.
 much better. plus! i need something small to tote along when i take the kids out to tBYoD since i can't really bring my spinning out there. maybe a babes would be great to have to tote outside.
i'm liking the way it is working up
 more so than i thought i would. last year, i sold off my favorite yarn, this year i gave my favorite yarn away. so much yarn passes thru my fingers that i don't get to use but would love to. like this one:
 i've been stopping myself from winding it up. i'm going to give it another week or so on the page. hopefully, these socks will fill my jones. i'm really loving the orange/yellow/pink thing.(if it isn't apparent.)
( and now! what i like to call, the aftermath ) happy Thursday all & happy belated birthday beautiful venal!
