When life kicks your ass, knit socks!

I finished another couple of shawls recently and I have a sweater languishing in my project bag, but I can't seem to focus on anything bigger than a sock at the moment.



Forest Canopy (ravelry link) and the Fountain Pen shawl (ravelry link) were very quick knits.

Fountain Pen got debuted at a friend's wedding a couple of weeks ago. If I can find a photo of it in action, I'll post it. Oh yes, and Handmaiden Mini Maiden is like yarn crack. I'm definitely going to use it again.



Here's Ricky inspecting Forest Canopy.



I knit this out of Lorna's Laces Shepherd worsted, which makes it a warm and sturdy, yet soft wrap for my chilly office. Also, it's cold out again.

Travel knitting

Sock knitting makes road trips and long flights go by so much faster. I got in from Raleigh late last night, so I'll update on the bigger projects soon. Until then, I leave you a photo of an old message board (possibly Freemont culture) taken last weekend in Moab.
