going green

With life the way it's been lately, I needed a project to focus on. And so the thought came, "I know! Cookie A patterns have charts! That'll make me focus." And so it did.

Pattern: Angee, from Sock Innovation by Cookie A
Yarn: Reynolds Soft Sea Wool in green (almost 2 skeins) on US1.5 needles
Notes: Not a difficult pattern, but the chart was just complicated enough to make me concentrate on it. Which was what I wanted.

I somehow even finished the first sock in two days of solid knitting. The second one took longer, since Torchwood: Children of Earth was far too engrossing for me to keep looking down at a chart. But it was completed while watching Passchendaele last night. After all, I did have to do some looking away during the battle scenes.

I'm not sure what's next. My other project isn't holding my attention, so I may have to move on to something else...

Buy Westing Paper products

Nothing to say right now, really. Have some photos from the 4th of July fireworks this weekend on the Esplanade.
