The afghan in Cascade's 128 Tweed wool yarn is blocking on 2 sheets on the wool carpet in the (presently unused) parlor. I'll be sure to start the pattern soon.

It's lovely. Warm, soft, large - 45" x 60", a real, curl-up-on-the-sofa-underneath-it-and-nap afghan!

This dank, nasty, cold, wet, rainy weather makes the other end of the house too cold to hang around in and paint woodwork.

So, as I'm on a mini-sebattical from painting, I began a batch of socks for the current CIC sock challenge, which goes to the end of June. I began Wednesday and am on my 5th pair so far - all using up the odds of ends from other projects. I'll post a group photo of the socks, when I'm ready to mail them out. Nothing fancy, just as colorful and thick as I can make them.

In between projects?, don't know what to knit?, need something simple to work on? - consider making socks (small child sizes) for CIC, in WOOL please, and make some very cold feet warmer!
