knitting in his future?
Filed under my life by sherriknits at 5:42 pm on May 22 2008
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!

I couldn’t view the video - said it was private- which is fine if it is meant to be, but you made me curious! LOL I love your sock and the colors are gorgeous. I have not seen this pattern but have been out of the knitting loop for awhile.
Well, how blessed are you?! A yarn shop and a room in y our house for stash! :o) We are staying home this weekend too and trying to get some organizing done as well. Exciting about Hubby’s new guitar!

Beautiful sock Sherri. Love the sock blockers too, just found an e bay shop that does lovely sock blockers, but the postage from the US is as much as the sock blockers!
I told hubby about the blockers, and he said that they should be used to block the letter box against sock yarn arriving!

I really like the way the pattern worked with the yarn. Gee, the imp could wind my yarn for me. Cute video.

The pattern is perfect for the yarn! Great video!
I moved out of my parents’ house 13 years ago and I still have loads of stuff there. I promised my mom that I would sort it out this summer, but we’ll see…

Love that sock! SO tired of sock patts that have no cling to the leg and will definitely fall down the leg. But yours is perfect. Great colors too!
