Ahhhh, home....I am always excited to head out on a trip and always so grateful to arrive home again. Held Tommy, my cat, for half of the 8 hour trip and the rest I finally got to do some knitting. This is going to be the first pair of socks from the Favorite Socks book by Interweave Press which was the catalyst for starting the blog-I also joined their KAL (a knit along online group). For this pair of socks I dyed the wool, a superwash from Halcyon Yarn, and spun it on my Ashford Joy spinning wheel. It is now going to be a full sock version of the Padded Footlets from the book-the best thing about working with your hands is the individual touch you can add to a design!
