What I'm Taking to Knit Nite

Tonight is Knit Nite at the Liverpool SuperStore Community Room from 7-8+. Last one til November 14th! Ga! If I can get this stuff wound into balls before it's time to go then I will take it with me. These will be work socks for my step FIL. I'm using the Briggs & Little Heavy Socks pattern and their Tuffy yarn. (80% wool, 20% nylon). The red should be enough to stripe several pairs. I chose red since a lot of work socks have red stripes, plus it goes with all of the grey Tuffies, the brown, and some of the blues. The other color is called smoke. Hubby will get some of these this winter, too.

This is my current sock project. It's Tropicana socks for me from some hand-dyed that I got on eBay well over a year ago at least. I think it's 100% merino, hand-wash. Can't remember. I took it outside to try to get a better color shot, but it's one of those colors that just can't capture well on camera. It's bright, but not quite this bright. I will have to take something else to Knit Nite tonight, even if I don't get the B&L wound into balls. This pattern has short-row heels, and I want to try it again, and I'll need to be in front of the computer looking at the tutorial when I try it. So, it's a simple four-row repeat that flies by, so should I get to the heel I'll be stalled til I get home. Need back-up knitting.

I'm also taking these, and yes, I share!

Impatiently waiting for the yarn orders to arrive. I wrote down some new Regia yarns today, too. Hope to get them ordered sometime in the not too distant future. They've got a new one out that looks really neat. I made up the signs for the new On Your Toes sock yarn today as well as the signage for the next two months Yarn of the Month. November will be Patons Astra, and December is any flavor of Briggs & Little, including the rovings.

Hope to see some of you local guys tonight!

Happy knitting!
