Back at last...

Despite the silence I have been working away on Cookie A.'s Pomatomus socks and am happy to report that they feel as great on as they look. I took me awhile to get into enjoying the process on these as all knit stitches were knit tbl, but it was probably the first time I was really motivated to start the second sock right away.

I was able to finish these by the middle of August, and good thing, too, as I spent two weeks in an intensive Bible training course where I had absolutely no time to knit. But I did have a wonderful time and met people from all over, like Peru and Argentina, as well as the States.

Before heading off to school I found this shawl pattern on Ravelry, called Dianna, and find that it works beautifully with hand painted yarns. I am so looking forward to seeing what it looks like when finished and blocked.

I may have already mentioned the drop spindle class I taught at the Stitch Niche in Diamondhead. I was very pleased that almost every student was spinning quite well at the end of the class. A few of them are fired up to learn to spin on the wheel, so that will be taking place in the next week or so.

So many things to do!
