Kittens, Yarn and Father's Day

The kids and their dad performed at our local coffee house for Father's Day. I wish they had played all together. Maybe next time. I'm thinking. Maybe I need to take up and instrument to play and sing along. We've got several days in a car coming up when we could practice together. The one in the pink glasses is my daughter and the one in the hat is my son.In kitten news: Kitten appears comfortably moved in. Talk about a sound sleeper. I have been doing a little dyeing and knitting. I finished the heels and gussets on my Wollmeise Veilchen Bellatrix socks.Below are pictures of my first experiments with KnitPicks sock blanks. Pretty cool!

Sidewinder Sock Act II

I worked on my sidewinder socks tonight. I finished Act II on one of them. I knitted about 5 rows on the other and have a hole. I need to rip it back and start again. Finished for tonight. Here it is.

Next Socks?

I want to make these socks with this yarn. It's from the book, Vogue Knitting Socks Two. The socks are Rib and Panel Socks.













The problem is I don't know how I'll be able to knit these in the round as the pattern calls for. As far as I can tell the yarn end will be in the wrong place to knit one yarn and then the other in rounds. If anyone has any insight into this please let me know.

Sunday happenings

Ahhhh, none. Sat and knitted all day. Finished my green socks and finished Merlin's "tiger" sweater.
Hmmmm, now what to work on. I am frustrated with the Intricate Stag bag since I decided to try to use more than two yarns. Every row gets so tangled I have to stop and untangle again. I will continue, but slowly. It's just not moving quickly enough to want to spend much time on it. I am going to work on more socks. I guess I should start on the granny square socks again now that I received my short KA circular needles in sock sizes. I've had them on order for some time and never got them so I ordered online and got them in a week.
