Sock knitting has been on hold briefly but I’m definitely ready to get back to it. I have so many sock yarns and patterns I want to try.

<— I completed my set of sock blockers with an order that came in the mail from The Loopy Ewe yesterday. I now have a set in sizes medium, large, and extra-large. So that should cover all the family members and friends that I plan to knit socks for. I also got some Soak Wash and a bit of Cherry Tree Hill yarn from there. (I’m a total Loopy Ewe addict now.)

Mostly I’ve been working on my “cold at work” shawl. It’s kind of a hybrid of the shawl pattern from Greetings from the Knit Café and Bev’s Dishcloth Shawl. I’m using size 9 Addi Turbo circulars. Unfortunately, I only had them in a 16-inch length, so now the shawl is getting too big and I’m waiting on my longer-length Addi’s to come in the mail. I’m also running out of yarn (I’m using Schaefer Yarn’s Sandra) — I had 1 skein of it and 2 more on order, but the ones I ordered haven’t come in yet. So I guess this project is going to go on hold.

Meanwhile, I have a baby gift for someone that’s about 90% done but I’ve been putting off finishing it because the last part involves short rows, and I wasn’t sure if I could do it. Well, since I put it aside, I’ve learned to knit socks — so now I’m feeling a lot more confident. So I may try to wrap that project up tonight or tomorrow. Then I’ll get back to my sock knitting and I’m also needing to make up some dish cloths and scrubbies.

Erica and I had a heck of a good time at Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday Night. It was quite an experience. We met up with Erica’s friend, Kelly, and her two friends. So it was a rowdy girls-night-out.

Here’s a picture of us waiting in line on the sidewalk outside the theater waiting for the show to start. —>

(Note the fab eyelash scarf that I knitted! It was really cold, so I wound up wearing it wrapped around my arms while we waited in line.)

Once we were in the theater, everyone shared their props with us — I wound up with a Spongebob party hat, a gold party-blower, and a mini-size squirt gun. Unfortunately, I couldn’t remember any of the callbacks, but some of the people sitting right behind us certainly did, so that was fun! I can’t wait to go again next year.
