This week has been insane! For someone who’s just moved to a new place, I sure have a lot of plans. Monday night was sock club, and I started Sarah’s sock design. It’s really pretty, and the yarn is amazing, but I think I’m going to have to rip back because it’s too big!
It’s actually even prettier than that, but the deep red is difficult to photograph.
I also got my drop spindle in the mail! ..now that I’m obsessed with spinning and all. I ordered some roving, too! It’s really pretty and I can’t wait for it to get here.
So the secret project I’ve been working on was socks! ..for my mom’s birthday. I’d have mentioned them Sunday, but she didn’t have them yet. She is very impressed (as is my dad) and loves them.
The pattern, originally from here, is called Charade. I think you have to get it from Ravelry now, though. Still free, mind.




Terrific socks! They even match! What a wonderful gift for your mom, Jen. :-)
