Vacation gets in the way

Not a lot of knitting - too much needing time off to recharge. Knitting is relaxing, but it's not the same as watching the prairie roll by and wondering what it must have been like for the first people to come to the great white flat.

I did get a few pair finished this month:



Hunter's test knit - we called it Lacy Socks, but it will have another name. Well written pattern and you'll enjoy it. The yarn was Zen Yarn Garden's superwash fingering in Garnet. Good pattern; good yarn; good experience.

This is another test-knit:



Pat Bishop's Bee's Knees. The yarn is Lorna's Laces in SSYC - a custom colourway for Simply Sock Yarn Company's anniversary.

And finally, almost done: Trekking XXL - Simple Ribbed Socks. These are about as easy as you can get - the interesting part is watching the yarn change colour - and watching the prairies go by. I cast on during the drive to Moose Jaw and knit much of it on the way home. There is nothing like Saskatchewan for making your mind wander over all the possibilities of life.



After all that knitting, it's time to do more quilting and writing.
