A Travelling Knitter

I’ve been away for a bit, but you probably gathered that with the gap in posts.  That, of course, does not mean I have not been doing something or other with yarn.  I brought the Herringbone Rib socks with me to San Diego; there was plenty of down time during the conference to work on it.  In fact, I was finished with it by the middle of the week.  That means that I have officially finished my first ever pair of knitted socks.  Yay!

During the rest of the week, I restarted my Vogue stockings.  I’m having a much easier time with the lace pattern so far this time around, but I also haven’t gotten very far yet, so maybe I’m jumping the gun to say that.

This week, I’m on a road trip down the coast of California and have brought the Log Cabin baby blanket with me.  Since I’m doing most of the driving, I haven’t had much time to work on it, but it is coming along nicely.  I should have some photos to show off once I get home.  (Would you believe that I remembered my camera, but not the USB cable?)  I really love working with this organic cotton; it isn’t soft to the touch like some yarns, but as a finished garment it just has this sort of cush to it that I think will be perfect for a baby blanket.  Plus, the colorway is pretty awesome.  I can’t wait to show you.
