First of all,  I am progressing on the Francie sock.  I haven’t had a lot of time to knit, but when I do, it moves along pretty fast.  I’m loving this and have loaded A Tree Grows in Brooklyn back onto my iPod although I am trying to finish Howard’s End first.

It’s hard to show the shaping on the bottom of the foot at this point but next time I’m sure it will be worth a look.  I really like that this is a fairly easy knit but there is enough to keep interest.  I have to say even thought I have used this yarn before, it seems thicker this time.  Maybe it’s the ribbing.

Today I had the little imp with me at work for awhile.  He isn’t wild about being here but he does enjoy one little chore.

will he knit, too? from Sherri Knits on Vimeo. 

Future knitter?  If not, a great assistant anyway.  He loves it and does a good job!

Before this, he was actually writing messages to his brother that said, “Let’s go”…hoping he’d get rescued.

Good news here.  Remember many months ago when hubby’s guitar got stolen from our church?  He didn’t want them to replace it for awhile in hopes it would show up, he loved that guitar and they are not easy to come by.  Well, he finally decided it was time and “just happened” to find one listed at a store in Seattle.  The church immediately called them and purchased it.  He had the choice of dropping everything and heading to pick it up or to wait until Saturday.  Guess which option he took.  haha.  He was outta town in nothing flat.  I’m so happy for him.  They only make 50 of these a month to sell worldwide.  He had sold 2 good guitars to get the stolen one.  Anyone who knows about guitars (not me) knows that 2 guitars of the same model will not feel the same and he had really looked for a “good fit”.  He decided no matter what, he was getting this guitar and if it didn’t work, he’d sell it and keep looking.  Funny, they increase in value unlike a car.  However, not surprisingly….it is a fit! I am so happy for him and all I will say is that it is being kept locked in a secure location.  grrr. 

I’m hoping we get something accomplished this weekend.  We’re recovering from weddings and I need to get some kind of order restored to our house.  The bride isn’t anywhere close to getting moved out of her room but little imp will inherit the room.  We can start getting geared up for that and shovel out the corners of the rest of the house.  My stash will move upstairs to the room the imp vacates.  Yahoo!
