A note

Greetings!

I apologize for the silence. I unfortunately experience one of my size US1 dpns snapping.

I am on the cuff of the sock.

For a temporary measure I placed some tape on the needle, but alas, it was still uncomfortable to use.

This experience has sent shock waves through my projects and even the projects with medal needles are declining to be touched until the sock issue is resolved.

And to think, this is only the first sock. There is still a second one to be knit. Mercy me.

Just this past weekend I acquired a set of rosewood dpns, provided by Lantern Moon and made available at a very interesting yarn store, the Hook & I. This store also has $5 grab bags, which I could not resist.

My five dollars netted me three $12 skeins of novelty yarn, one skein of novelty yarn that I actually have a matching skein of already, two skeins of a boa style yarn, two Knit 1 back issues (hurrah!), one sweater pattern and one baby sweater pattern which is about to become a gift for the center manager at my current job. I found out last week she knits and is even on ravelry.

Later today I shall begin the transfer of project to new needles. (By the by, these are extremely long dpns, being 7" and I am not use to that.) Hopefully, this will calm the other projects and life can return to yarn harmony.

Thank you for your patience during this troubling time.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your comment didn't have an email, so I'll respond here ;)

I hadn't noticed the 'reflective' nature in the foot of the sock. I can claim no credit for it, it just happens to be how the color is spiraling! The top of the foot is just the same basket weave as the leg of the sock and the sole is plain stockinette!
