Foggy Day

Well we're having a bit of a foggy day here today after a week of mostly sunshine and cold weather. Have finished my jaywalker socks, find the pattern here. Here's a picture. Sorry no fancy sock blockers.

They are made from Lornas' Laces sock in Childs Play. Can't remember where I got it though. Don't know why they striped on one foot and not the other. A fun pattern but don't think I'll make it again yet. So many other sock patterns to try.

Have started a new sock, sidewinders by nonaknits. Very interesting pattern and I'm using this yarn which is the latest from the Spunky Club.

It looks really lovely knitted up. I'll show you a photo next time. Won't be buying much more overseas with the NZ dollar dropping back through the US$0.70 mark! Might just have to use up the stash and/or buy more local yarn. Pity yarns like Rowan are so expensive here.

Nearly finished the collar for Juno so should be able to show a finished object next time. Might start on some more summery knitting as it might arrive sometime in the next 4 months. Am off to drop off some clothes for recycling and to the library to stock up on reading material. Am reading "The Fly in the Cathedral" at the moment which is one of those popular science books and is about the splitting of the atom. It's of particularly interest to me since Rutherford was a NZer and one of the NZ heroes. Also have to get the next book for my book group.

Cheers
