… Chris’ pressing question…
yes, I found my sock knotes. and this sock is fast approaching completion. woohoo! I think I need to do 5 more (4-round) repeats to be where I stopped for the toes on sock 1. I still need to figure out if I want to add 1 or 2 more to make it long enough, and then I’ll need to frog the first sock’s toe and make it match. but it looks like I’ll have no problem getting them done in time. (getting them mailed might be a different story…)

in answer to Rina’s question: for the Tasha bag, I’m using Rowan Denim, which is what was used in the pattern.

this weekend I am joining two other MN Knittyheads and we’re carpooling down to Lake Geneva WI for a weekend of camping and knitting. there is talk of indigo dyeing and spinning as well. I haven’t started packing yet. I haven’t thought much about what knitting to pack yet either. pretty sure Tasha will be packed, as well as the River-what’s-it socks started last month. dad’s gloves. maybe I’ll start Amelia’s dress. (I’ll have to wind the yarn. ooh, but I get XP for that. bonus! excuse me while I embrace my inner geek.)

in other news… Eli (my nephew, though he’s quite cute and I’m tempted to steal him from my sister) is going to be 2 in a week and a bit. maybe I should get back to work on Grrr….
