Judy has posted a photo of her very alluring laceweight yarn on her blog. Go see!
Susan has posted a new shawl pattern for sale that is downright gorgeous. Go see! Yes, I’ve already bought it. Yes, I might even knit the nupps. 
I finished my Ben socks:
These socks are knit from Zen String Serendipity sock yarn in the “Ben” colorway. The moment I started knitting with this yarn I fell in love with it. I went back and snagged a couple more skeins of it from The Loopy Ewe before Sheri sold out of it. So I can make more Serendipity socks — yay!
I used a US 2 needle on this sportweight yarn, and got a decent-sized pair of socks out of one skein.
I started another sock.
This is Crystal Palace Panda Cotton in the “Fern” colorway. It’s a blend of bamboo, cotton, and nylon, and I bought enough for a pair of socks (2 skeins) from The Loopy Ewe when Sheri started carrying it. I checked the ball band and the stated gauge is 6/7 sts/inch on a size 1 – 2.5 US needle. Okay, time to swatch. I started with a US 1 needle and was surprised to find that I got 8 stitches to the inch! So I’m knitting this sock on US 1 needles at 8 stitches to the inch. It’s interesting so far.
The yarn is constructed of many plies and I really had to watch it while picking up my wraps on my short-row toe. So much so that I got a little dis-enchanted with the yarn. I was afraid it was going to be very splitty. But once I got past the toe and started working in the round, things were fine. I’ve not had any problem with stitches splitting.
The resulting knitted fabric is very soft and quite stretchy. I’ll be very interested in how these socks feel on the foot!
My Current Big Project
Still not ready to show you a pic. Still deciding whether it is gorgeous or hideous. I may never know.
Here’s a hint.
Can you guess what it is?
Here’s another hint.
How about now?

I can relate…I went to DMV to renew because this month is that Big Birthday…Sucks to get old. I tried to read the eye chart with nekkid eyes and the girl said “Honey, yo need yo eyes checked fo’ yo git this license” so I pulled out the glasses and read the damn chart.
I like yours better than mine.
I think that is a Crayon Box Sweater pile of labels?

1. I love the socks, and in honour of my son, Ben, may have to try to scare some up -
2. Following popular opinion, I am also thinking mitred blanket.
3. The glasses look great – and isn’t it nice to see? I still lift mine off and on to compare things like leaves on trees (and lines on roads) with and without visual aid – the getting old thing? Definitely sucks… better than the alternative, though…

Enjoy the glasses (they look nice). It’s so nice to be able to see again, isn’t it? I ‘graduated’ from single vision to bi-focal a couple years ago. If (when?) you get there, get the progressive lens, flat edge.
I”m also guessing a mitered square blanket. I like the socks- nice color patterns!!
Also curious to hear about the cotton blend socks- I’m looking for summer sock yarn too.
My Magpie agrees with Lucy- sleeping is hard work!

Wendy – your glasses look great! You are fortunate to have a low Rx so they don’t make your eyes look smaller! My eyesight has been bad since I was in grade school and has gotten progressively worse over my life. Enjoy!

Older, shmolder. Between the hair and the glasses, you’re reminding me of the bright-young-thing ingenues that were a staple of shows like Danger Man (a/k/a Secret Agent) and The Avengers. Go, baby, go.

I was thinking mitered something . log cabin or Crayon Box sweater whatever it is – go for it!!!
nice specs..I hope you they are not just for reading.knitting so they go on and off. I ended up getting transition ones I wear all the time for that reason. I was leaving them all over the place.

Hey now, glasses aren’t so bad! I like yours, I wish I could wear them but I look like a doofus with microscopic eyes. Stupid high prescription.
All these labels! I’m voting a blanky. Or a wrap. Same difference.

I think the glasses make you look stylish! Very nice indeed.
I started wearing glasses when my 2nd daughter was in a school concert and I couldn’t make out which kid was her because they were all a blur.

Looks like a blanket to me. I got some Zen String from The Loopy Ewe also – 3 skiens. Glad to hear you like it. Size 2 needles sound great right now, I’m using 0′s on my Inside Out socks right now.

I’m much more worried about my wrinkley neck than my glasses but I’m listening to Anne Lamott’s new book “Grace” now and she does a fantastic job of putting things in perspective.

Your glasses look great! Last time I had a check up (2 years ago) the doc said I may do better with bifocals the next time I came in. I’m only 43, and I can legally drive without glasses. I think she was just making that up.
It’s hard being a pampered house kitty. So much napping to do, so little time.
