Last night was a blessing and a quiet evening with ladies I don't see very often.
Emma had a sleep-over/birthday party with a new friend she made at school. Ellie had her normal Friday night gymnastics and I went to Knitwitz where I had not been in such a long time. What an enjoyable evening.
It was so nice spending three hours just knitting, chatting and listening to friends.
Worked on Sabrina's socks for Christmas. I sure hope she likes them. I'm using the 56stitch/56 row pattern. It's a basic sock pattern - cast on 56 stitches, 16 rows of K2P2 ribbing, knit 56 rows, start the heel, after the heel it's 56 rows for the foot. Now, for Sabrina's pair, I dropped the needle size down to a 2.5mm trying to make the patter smaller. I did the 16 rows of ribbing followed by 4 inches of straight knit for the leg. Now, I'm on the heel. I'm really stretching to get these done this week-end to get back on track with my Christmas knitting.
Here's a picture of the yarn. I love it --- from Pagewood Farms (http://www.pagewoodfarm.com/). It's their Yukon sock yarn (wool/nylon/bamboo) in the Cotton Candy colorway. Perfect for the girl who wanted pink. Hopefully I'll have a picture of the actual sock for you soon.
