Saturday sky

Yay! I remembered!!!
– altocumulus (I think/hope – be gentle with me if I’m wrong!)

Two poorly children are getting better. Two poorly children are getting naughtier. Hey ho. I’m pretty lousy company when I’m feeling post-viral, so I guess I can’t really complain (but I do, I do!!)

And there’s been knitting. Knitting that isn’t grey. Knitting that can be blogged:

It’s the start of socks for my FIL – apparently he needs some good warm house socks. And as I’ve already said, who am I to argue. (As ever, taking pictures after dark and using a flash doesn’t do justice to the colours, but you get the general idea.)

Yarn: Twilley’s Freedom Spirit (my new yarny love)
Pattern: a hotch potch from Charlene Schurch’s Sensational Knitted Socks: Toe up (round toe), twin rib (aka Rib of Doom) with heel flap.
Needles: 4 random 3.25mm dpns I found lying around

(Oh, and I think I’m getting a little carried away with Strictly Come Dancing – I found myself voting for two of the couples tonight… )

The sock’s looking good! Glad to hear the kids are doing better.

Freedom Spirit is a lovely thing… am about to start the Rib o’Doom pattern for some bedsocks for a friend…

Ooh, that Twilley—I think I’m in love. Must knit the yarn I have. Must not buy more yarn. [stumbles away muttering]

Oooh, lovely lovely Twilleys. I wish I could get it in Lincoln…

Glad they’re feeling better! I love the colors on the sock…
