I finish one sock and started the second. Always feels good to finally be working on sock number two. It is Wendy's pattern, from the toe up. Trekking sock yarn on size 1 double points. Great pattern.

Then there is the Lady Eleanor Entrelac Wrap from Scarf Style by Pam Allen. This is nearly finished. I am using Patons SWS and I am amazed how the colors seemingly changed as I went from block to block. I couldn't have even planned it better. I love the feel of this yarn-70% wool and 30% soy. It was been comfortable to use if that makes any sense to you, it does to me. I am very tactile as I think most fiber people are, so it has to feel good, very soft. It will be very soothing to wrap up in.

Then last is an Aran sweater from an old Candide pattern being knit with Bartlett yarn, one of my favorite yarns. The back is finished and I am working on the left front, now at the armhole shaping. I found the trick to Aran knitting is to try to pick it up every night or when ever you knit, but the point is as you work on it daily you tend to memorize the stitches and that allows you to sail on up the fronts, back and sleeves without constantly checking the directions. So there you have it.

I was told about a book by a friend Saturday and was able to find it at the library. I love the library, one of my favorite places. I have been loosing myself there since I was a child. I think of it as my personal bookshelves that just happen to be a few miles away. The book is : Three Cups of Tea

by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.

Have a great day, thanks for reading.
