Changed My Mind (A Little)

Hello on Saturday!  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

I changed my mind about a couple of things this past week.  One of them was that I was planning to use an existing work surface for my new sock knitting machine.  I changed my mind and got a custom table from its company of origin instead:

Now all I need to do is get the machine settled on it!  (Also notice the Benson photobomb in the lower corner - always in motion, always blurry!)

The table also came with a surprise - a pound of ugly yellow acrylic sock yarn - perfect for practice and making starter bonnets!!

I also changed my mind about what I'll be doing with the KamaKamaKamaKama yarn from Neuro.  You will all like this!  I'll put a pic up as soon as I have something recognizable to show you.

In wildlife news - I took Benson out yesterday for his usual mid-evening stroll.  I bring a small flashlight because it's so dark away from the house.  Oogyhubby joined us and of course brought his flashlight, which I believe you can see from the space station.  I thought we were alone, but the super-powered flashlight showed a whole herd of deer over in the other field, watching us with great interest.  So, even when you think you're alone - you're probably not!

We also took a short car trip yesterday as part of Benson's socialization, and noticed that there was a dead rabbit next to the road just off of our driveway.  Maybe it was dropped by some unlucky hawk?  You would think that the scavengers would have been all over it, but perhaps it was that recent.  We left it there, figuring it would make some lucky turkey vulture's day.  I will be shocked if it's still down there with all of the creatures that roam around here (including the humans, LOL).

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!
