I'm down in Arizona to watch my son, Himes, dance. This is a super quick post because I am having so much fun with my nieces and nephews, that I don't have much time to spend on the computer.
I did bring down a bit of yarn and my sock needles. I have cast on my first pair of March socks. The challenge for Sock Knitters Anonymous this month is "Man Socks." The color for SolidSocks is Orange. Not necessarily a good match. But, since my youngest son, Pookie, will be going to Princeton next fall, and their colors are Black and Orange, he actually wants a pair of Orange socks.
I am making him socks called Karl's Socks, by Claire Ellen. Here is my cast on Photo:
I am altering the socks to make them toe up. This photo was taken at my in-laws' new house. Well, their soon-to-be-finished new house.
I made 2 quick projects to turn in for the Harry Potter Knit Crochet House Cup with some Red Caron's One Pound that I also brought with me on this trip, but otherwise, I have no yarn. This would not be a problem, except that my family in California called yesterday, and asked if I could come to help next week. I will not fly back home on Monday as planned, Instead I will fly from Phoenix to Orange County, spend a week there while my brother has a special operation, THEN fly home.
I need to buy yarn and possibly needles.
Time for me to go to bed. The dance show was so wonderful, but I am super tired.
I'm just going to post photos of the 2 pair of socks I finished last month:
