Brian and I went to visit his family today, the last Christmas gathering (although I’m also going to see my brother and his wife on Tuesday afternoon). It was very fun, and I did get to knit in the car.

Knitting this particular project was impossible once we got there, though. I’m proofknitting a pattern I wrote and was at a point that required thinking. Thank goodness I also took along some alpaca sox I’m knitting from my generic sock formula in my head. I got about an inch and a half done on two sox while at the party, and went back to proofknitting in the car.

Now I have to decide who is going to get these sox. They are not my colors at all, spring colors for a spring publication. If these were for me or someone with about the size feet I have, I could start the toe first thing in the morning. I may just do that and then find a recipient. If I can find the measurements for my Goddaughter, Sara, I may make them for her. We’ll see…

… I do have two sock swaps due after this, but both require hand-dyed yarns I don’t have dyed yet. I’m really backlogged in the dyeing department, unfortunately, and too many promises are waiting for me to get down there. It looks good that I can get down there this week, probably Wednesday (crossing fingers).

Meanwhile, before I start the swap sox I’m going to let myself knit a simple beret/tam hat out of purple mohair and novelty yarn (Charm?). I need an instant-gratification project, just to lighten up a bit.
