Feeling good

I had a great weekend.  It was one of those weekends where I could knit for hours and still felt good at the end.  Plus it has been light when I got up which means spring is on the way... Even if it's snowing this morning.  

I did knit for a while on socks.  Friday morning till lunch time so not too long but it was enough to remember that I really hate magic loop.  Oh well.  It's working better than with dpns at the moment.  

And then it was time to knit anything else.  

I thought that I would work on the yellow, but my hands ended up with the London Fog sweater. 

I was on the first row of garter ridges when I stopped on it last and now after two great days knitting on it, I am a row from starting the third ridge set.  Last night as I was putting it away for the night, I realized it's now sweater.  

Can I just say again how lovely this yarn is.  It's a speckled yarn and I completely went against the speckles trend, but now that that is over, I get it.  It makes a tweedy looking fabric.  I still could never do a pink with speckles or yellow with speckles, but this gorgeous grungy green muddy grey, with tweedy sparks of teal and mustard and green and garnet.  Now that's a thing I get.  I love how this looks.  

Knitting this is also interesting to alternate to the more rustic blue yarn.  It's so soft and springy.  It's makes me feel delicate and gentle when I am not normally gentle or delicate.  I am more of a mule I think or a bull in a China shop.  Feeling delicate makes me giggle at myself.  The yarn is nice and I appreciate that different sort of cozy.

It's chore day and time to get moving so I can knit.
