And then, after all that knitting, I decided I’d had enough of pink, yellow and green and that it was time to re-pack my knitting basket. The new Project Spectrum colors are black, red and metallics, so I have gathered those up. You’ll see several sock yarns here that contain those colors, and I have just remembered that I could also pull the solid red and the black/white to make myself that pair of socks I’ve been planning for a couple of years, too: The ones like I made my sock pal forever ago. There is also a ball in there to represent finishing the sweater for DS#2 and one for my Sonnet. Finally there is a ball of black feathery stuff to make DD#2 a hat.

So, fresh yarn, fresh ideas, fresh air–I may sit outside and knit this afternoon, lack of teak outdoor furniture not withstanding. I’m thinking the first thing I want to do is a pair of feather and fan socks from that black/brown/white you see in the middle, but you know as well as I do that I won’t make up my mind until I am actually ready to knit.
