Houseguest and Cold
(Two things I have this week.)
The houseguest is an old roomie, and I think I caught a cold at the yarn store the other night. I'm taking vitamin C like a fiend. My head really, really hurts. Must stop and buy medicine tonight on the way home.
I finished one of the Shell/Prize socks and blocked it, then had a friend with size 7 feet try it on. It looks great and it fits her - but I won't use this yarn for socks again. I think it's just too soft. It's billed as fair isle yarn anyway, so it's my fault. I just really don't like the self-striping and jacquard craze that's going on for this type of sock. The stitch pattern is primary, so why muck it up with stripes? It would look terrible.
Next up is second sock, and then a pair of the Gentleman's Basic Sock in some Regia for Space Dad.
I found a cute and so soft cashmere/cotton sweater at Old Navy - it retailed for $26.50 originally and I got it for 10. I don't dare wash it; at those prices the cashmere is bound to pill at the sight of water. It's got to be the shortest staple fiber ever.
If you're a cable/stitch expert, stroll on over to Kirsten's blog and see if you can help her identify what's in the middle of the cable. I'm pathetic at that stuff...
