My knitpicks.com catalog came in the mail today. Ooh! I am far more excited than I should be. They have such beautiful yarns! Such wonderful colors! I want to do all sorts of things to them, verbs like: touch, play, knit, feel, rub, snuggle, admire, and so on. I'm a sucker for hand-dyeds, and they have several new varieties for fall. I'm very excited about some of the sock yarns, as I've been on a sock kick lately. But I should not purchase anything else until I've finished a few projects...... We'll see how long that sentiment lasts.
Anyway, I should stop obsessing and finish Kel's sock. I have several inches of ribbing done. It just needs to be a bit taller. I tried it on, and it fits me well - hopefully it will fit Kelly just as well. The tote is on hold until I share it with my knitting group to get their thoughts on whether or not the third color works or not. I like the first two, but I'm not sure about the third. Could be that I just don't usually like pink. If it doesn't work, it may be an excuse to order some of the new colors.......
Spent today with my dad, running around Canton. We got to play on some WWII planes (check out www.collingsfoundation.org to see which ones) which was fun. It took forever to find the place - we stopped for directions something like four times, and finally found a flyer and called the museum. Lots of roads in the vicinity were closed. Kelly's sock is much larger due to the extra miles covered. Anyway, we watched the planes take off for their next destination. Wandered around the MAPS museum for a while, too. I picked up a Rosie the Riveter T-shirt. Gotta love Rosie! We never made it to the Rock Hall, which had been the original destination. Oh well - the Beach Boys exhibit that he wants to see is there until December. Great thing about being a consultant is that I can make my own schedule, so whenever he gets back out here, we'll go to the Rock Hall and Great Lakes.
