wow, I’ve been a bit quiet here lately. I’ve been busy knitting the Sockamania River socks - I’m stuck halfway up the foot of sock #1. I need to figure out how to sort out my mods and a high instep modification. So today I went back to the Tasha bag. Also been busy getting my projects added to Ravelry.

so, strolling thru blogland this morning, I stumbled on this. Scroll down a bit. I’m loving that Cider Moon yarn she’s using on the socks. love the colors, love the way it looks. would love to have it. but that’ll have to wait a bit.

in other news, I hemmed some store-bought curtains Sunday night. and that turned out pretty well. (they’re pretty even and straight. dh is happy.) last night I layed out the fabric and cut out the pieces for dh’s pajama pants. I’m hoping the bedroom curtains will get done next week while dh is away (he’ll be in Ohio at Origins). and I want to make myself a skirt. and my pajama pants. and maybe go back to the quilt. I’m also planning some other non-knitting craftiness - my friend is getting married the end of July (on my birthday, coincidentally), and the shower is mid-July. I’m thinking soap and candlemaking as well as some knitting shall produce a nice gift. (she’s crafty too, so hopefully she won’t think I’m completely cheap or anything)

oh, and I’m feeling a bit giddy. since it’s kinda cold out today (compared to the last few days), I’m wearing my new socks at work. yeah, the glitz itches a lot. but my feet are comfy
