There has been knitting.

• Mum's cardigan is finally at the interesting bit (Noro!)
• D's socks are at the gusset point and choking up the circs - I might have to switch to one sock at a time for a few rounds.

There has been painting.

• I'm getting new blinds installed this week so it seeemed the opportune time to paint the front wall of the living room. (ie: paint it now or never get 'round tuit)

There has been waving temptation under noses.

• I met up with Y and M for a little inititation into excursion to Morris & Sons. Like candy to a baby.

I love the definition that twisted stitches give to cables and the ribbing makes for a warm, head-hugging fit.

She's got a new toy...

This textured sock pattern is Eunice, from Sock Innovation.
Yarn is Grignasco Strong Print that I picked up at Clegs a couple of years ago. It has a teensy bit of sparkle in it and it stripes really nicely.
One sock down, one to go. I'm still on track for my six books project.
