Long, long weekend



Spent the long weekend in Florida with my family. Vacation was great, as usual, but the tennis is never-ending! Ugh! As I typed that, Nadal just lost his match. At 2am. :( No more Nadal is disappointing, but no more tennis for a bit is a good thing.

But, upon my return this evening, I found my Ravelry invitation! Very exciting. I added a few little things already, but there's much to explore... Already, I know I love it. I can visualize my stash, projects, my needles... Add order and plan new projects without dragging out the stash, books, & magazines constantly.

Must get around to going to sleep very soon. First day back from vacation will certainly be a busy one.

In my knitting news:
  • I am about 80% done with my second try at the Iron City Socks. Looking good, so I'm pretty happy. Looking MUCH better than the first "experimental" version.
  • I started the Tyrolean Stockings, from Interweave Fall 2007. I'm using the Blue Moon Art Fibers - In the Navy - Heavyweight yarn. LOVE the yarn.
  • I finished the 1st sock from the Blue Moon Mediumweight - Tigers Eye - yarn. It's a slouchy and stripey sock that ends just before her toes - so that she can wear flip-flops w/ them. Think "Pedicure Socks" from knitty.

hi! i saw your vogue spring 2005 lace-up cami on flickr. it's beautiful! congratulations!

i was hoping you could help me figure out something about the pattern. i can't figure out how to do the straps. (i'm not doing the lace-up part.) do you think you could describe in plain language how you make the straps and neckline all in one piece?

i'm baffled. and impressed.
