I have finally decided on my pattern and yarn for Sock-a-pooolza. I have decided to do something entirely strange and weird for me. I am doing a top down sock!! I am using the Simply Lovely Lace pattern from the current issue of IK. The yarn is some that I bought off of eBay from a seller named kbrece. The yarn is a hand-dyed sock yarn in purples and it reminds me of spring. I will try and get photos tonight or tomorrow.
I have also restarted my Falling Leaves sock but in a different yarn this time. It kind of helps to read the pattern correctly. For some strange reason, I insisted on reading the pattern incorrectly. I am using Turks and Caicos colorway from Dani at Sunshine Yarns. I am loving her yarns!
And if I am quiet this week, don't be worried. I am just enjoying not having class for another two weeks. Yes, in two weeks, I have a new class starting on truck operations. I have also been spending time down at the truck house. Yes, I enjoy riding the trucks. The people at the truck house are wonderful and we have fun even when we are doing something as simple as washing all of the trash cans in the station. It is all in the company you keep.
And I am still in my getting to know each other better stage of a relationship with the guy in Blacksburg.
I can't wait to see how they progress! I saw the socks in IK, and I really liked them as well.
Have a great Wednesday!

Can't wait to see how they come along. I got the Costa Rica colourway from Dani and I'm so excited to try it out! It sure is beautiful yarn - *sigh* if only I were that talented!
