A good day ahead.

It was a good weekend.  Some family came to do a few chores for me so there was lots of fun but there was also lots of good knitting time.  

I spent a day on socks.  Go me!  

Well into the cuff now.  I decided to do a 2 x 2  ribbed cuff.  I think it's just a bit of a ploy to keep me going.  I don't do a lot of patterns in my socks but lately, I have been thinking a lot about the basic farmer socks, the socks of sock monkeys.  If I didn't have so many socks on the go, I would be knitting a pair of them.  I think this decision is  my inner compulsive self needing the ribbed bit so I can feel as if I am there rather than three socks from farmer socks.  

And yes.  I am thinking hard about knitting another Sock Monkey Cabin blanket.  Stop me, please.

I also spent a day working on the London Fog sweater.  

It's an underarm!  I'm completely thrilled to be here. 

Sweater knitting always feels speedy as soon as I get to this part of a sweater.  It also feels like this because suddenly, you are only knitting on body stitches. Sleeves have a lot of stitches and separating those out is such a relief.  

I hope to get to a try on later today.  

It doesn't look like much yet but it's getting there.  

It's also going to be a laundry and baking day.  We are having chili for supper so I want some fresh buns.  Nothing goes with chili better than some nice fresh buns slathered with butter.  It is also going to be a good knitting day.  I feel it.  A good day is in the air.
