Summer of Socks

I seem to be a joiner lately. Thanks to Pat I am now a member of the Summer of Socks 2007. I figure I knit socks already for two KALs, why not another since I'll be making them anyways. Plus it's a chance to win more stuff! (Not that I ever win a lot, but I have won three blog contests, I think.) Just click on the link if you want to join SOS, too.

I have one little pair of Dulaan socks finished. I will wait til I get the others done and take a group shot since they're only like size two. I decided I didn't really have enough yarn to do anything but small, plain socks. I did write down an idea for a very basic kids sock pattern. I have some stuff kicking around in the stash for the boys, so I will work on those after my Dulaan stuff is done, and if they work out okay I'll post it.

So this won't be a pictureless post I will show you some I snapped the other day when the Littlest One and I went for a walk at the local park. Well, I went for a walk. He said to take the "one-headed stroller" in case he got tired. (Usually half way around he gets whiney and wants to be carried. Getting too heavy to tote.) He ended up pulling the Lazy Boy's stunt and didn't walk at all! Well, except for getting his picture taken by the tree with the white flowers on it cuz it "was pretty". It wasn't an easy walk. He wouldn't let me take the "two-headed stroller", which would have been much easier to push on the rocks since it has bicycle tires. (double jogging stroller translated from Littlest One Gibberish)

This may be of interest to any local knitters. The store is having a sale starting Tuesday, May 22-Saturday, June 9. Here's the breakdown if my memory is correct:

30% off Patons Carmen, Be Mine, Bernat Haven, Black Lites, Disco 50% off Bernat Eyelash, Sirdar Denim Tweed DK, Regia 3ply sock yarn, Patons Allure, Silverlash, Brilliant, Cha Cha, Grace, 15% off cross stitch, crewel, needlepoint, paint and color by number kits, 50% off of some old tapestry wool

Since June 9 is World Wide Knit in Public Day and also my day to work, anyone who wants can bring a lawn chair and join me at the store for some knitting. If it's nice we'll sit outside, if not we'll just sit inside.

Hubby will soon be home after being gone for nearly two weeks, and I have to go to work! (That goes over like a ton of bricks, but c'est la vie!) I only work from 4-8 and tomorrow, too, but Monday is a holiday in Canada, so it's a long weekend.

Happy knitting!
