...the life of a girl infatuated with wool, knitting, spinning....and the world's slowest sock knitter. Oh yeah, and all things made of cake!

Friday and I have green yarn!

The bleeping socks are done and the cow gave me the stink eye....
I finally finished these socks and I never thought I would, but they are blocking right now. Thank goodness!!
These are a modified version of the Primavera Socks pattern with my very first Afterthought Heel heel. Not sure how I feel about them at this minute....not sure if I love the fit.
The yarn is a Knit Picks yarn, I think Essential and that stuff fuzzes up when water hits it. Reminds me of a Gremlin.
I have to say I loved my Ott light for helping my old eyes see the stitches when trying to start the heel.
On our afternoon dog walk yesterday, Finley, Ava and I stopped to admire the neighbor's new calf. The mama kept giving me the stink eye. So rude!
If I could have jumped the fence and stole the calf I would have!
After this morning's walk, Finley decided to relax with a little doggie yoga and I cast on a bracelet with leftover handspun.
I love me some Finley!

Friday cuteness coming your way!
Ava is so much cuter than any yarny goodness I can show you today.
We spent the day playing (with some knitting thrown in too) and enjoying icee pops in the backyard. Ava enjoyed the coconut best. I think she must be a Pina Colada girl at heart.

Look, I made more yarn!
eta: finally checked WPI and have 14 to 15...guessing fingering? So not sure what a 220 some yard fingering will be, suggestions? I wanted to do another 198 yards of Heaven shawl, but that requires worsted....will have to research this. I do love the end colors :) Don't you love spinning???!!!
