With this past weekend being so hot & spending a lot of time upstairs with the air conditioning I got quite a bit of knitting & reading done.
I finished the stripy socks from last week. I LOVE the yarn...Knit Picks Felici in Time Traveler (which is gone now). It knit up nice and soft. I hope it wears well. I did the heel in a darker grey yarn because I was afraid I wouldn't have enough of the Felici. I did but oh well because THEN I got to knit a newborn pair of stripy socks!
I couldn't wait to cast on SOMETHING for the new babe until we find out next week what it will be. I figure stripy socks are gender neutral. These are from one of the leftover balls of yarn. I plan on knitting up another little pair from the other ball.
I've been getting quite a bit of reading in too. Over the weekend I started & finished The Fault in our Stars on the recommendation of my sister. It was excellent. I couldn't put it down. Now I'm reading Dan Brown's new book. It's ok so far. I am liking reading about the art history of Italy.
I loved Fault in our Stars! Those wee little socks are darling, can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl!!
ReplyDeleteBig socks and mini socks - how gorgeous! I bet you're glad you knit those heels in grey, now :o)
ReplyDeleteI love that yarn too. I missed out on the Time Travel colorway though--boo hoo! Those little socks are darling.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to let us know about the baby? I am so excited for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read Fault in Our Stars, but have been afraid it would make me cry. I just lost a good friend to C and it still hurts.
I can't wait to hear whether it's a boy or girl! I haven't put my name on the wait list for the Dan Brown book yet. It's hundreds of people long and I've got so many books on my shelves to read and I just ordered more from Paperbackswap.com that I really didn't need to do.
ReplyDeleteFun to have matching socks for you and the baby!
ReplyDeleteI love the matching socks! I read Inferno too. It's fascinating to "travel" thorugh reading it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome socks! :)
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about the Fault in our STars, but I havent gotten to reading it yet.
ReplyDeleteSuper jealous that you were able to snatch up that Felici colorway! The socks are super adorable!
Great socks!
ReplyDeleteI love the felici yarn from knitpicks, they always have such great colors. Those socks are so much fun. Too perfect to have a matching pair for baby.
ReplyDeleteI like reading Dan Brown's books but I can't watch the movies.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are cute! And definitely will work for either gender. And once you find out what it will be... you'll be knitting up a storm, right?!
ReplyDeleteMatchy socks! Love.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss your Yarn Along post???
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those socks! It's making me think of Fall, and the cooler weather to come.
