Thursday Kitteh Blog (08/20/2009)

As is frequently the case, today only one kitteh decided to cooperate for picture time. It was not Stash, but here she is actually pouncing on the camera as I took the picture.


And here's Meredith all wide-eyed and full of wonder. She's wondering when I'm going to clean up my room because the clutter is getting a little out of hand. There's no easy answer to her question. The best I can tell her is eventually.

And a picture of my current knitting project. Yep, another sock (first one of a pair). I'm on a mission to knit at least 6 pairs of socks before I allow myself to buy any new sock yarn.

This is Zoe sock yarn by Shalimar in the Sweet Pea colorway. According to the dyer, it's not supposed to pool. We'll see how that holds up with my particular gauge for this project. The pattern is called Anastasia and it's a free pattern that I downloaded from Ravelry (also available on pepperknit.com/patterns). It's still not easy to see, but there are spiraling eyelets on the top of the foot of this sock which will then continue up the leg. This is the right sock; on the left sock, the spirals will go in the opposite direction, which is why I'm not using this pattern to try to knit 2 at the same time. Just too much opportunity to read the wrong chart and have to frog the thing. I started this Monday night, and then it got really hot on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I haven't worked on it much since. I did 3 rounds this morning because work is slow, and I might get a couple of more in today, but right now knitting is very weather dependent.
