Mama Needs a New Pair of Socks

So I totally finished Jennifer's Hitchhiker just in time! It was off the needles and blocking before bed last night and ready to wrap this morning. 

  

It was well received today. Jennifer knits so she appreciates the work that went into it and knows how to care for it. I didn't get a picture of her wearing it tonight, but I'm sure I will soon. 

I started a new sock tonight because it's easy to do whilst chatting up family.  

 It was a lovely evening, I got to know Craig's family better. Food and wine were enjoyed; I'll sleep well with a full belly tonight. 

 

Fait accompli

And Hitchhiker is done!

 

It's not blocked yet; I can't wait to see how much more wonderful it looks when I do block it!!

It was a great week. It would certainly have taken me longer if I hadn't known that Julie was on my heels all week. 

Still Hitching

Been a busy week - a new work schedule, battling The Allergies, sleep ... the usual. 

Fortunately, garter is a kind stitch and yields satisfyingly visible results. 

 

 

Alright then, back at it!

Been a bit busy with work, errands, and sleep, but fortunately garter stitch makes for satisfying and visible progress. 

 

 

Marble Hitchhiker

Making progress! I am

A bit further in than the picture I'm posting, the project is in the car; I'm about 60% done. 

 

I am loving the subtle variations in the Cheshire yarn. I've name my project Marble Hitchhiker on Ravelry because that's what it looks like to me. 

Busy today and tomorrow ... hopefully I won't fall too far behind Julie, Sarah, Lynn & Cathy.
