Eeny-weeny sock #1 is DONE. I have dubbed these the "globe socks" because the purple/blue/green looks like islands and continents floating in an ocean. Very cool. BUT - no pictures until sock #2 is done. That's the rule. So.
Front-right panel of dad's cardigan is also done. Yay! Weirdness around figuring the neck/armhole decreases, but with reassurance from Kelly at Yarn Forward, got it sorted. She was very amused that I had calculated out and written down which rows would be decrease rows. I'm thinking, "doesn't everyone do it this way?" I guess not. Meh, it works for me. So, back and half the front done. This thing is starting to look like a sweater. Cool.
N8an's slippers are coming more slowly, but I am almost at the colour-change on the first one and they go very quick from that point downward (or is it onward? anyway, toward the toe). Good computer knitting, should have them done in a week or two.
And the surprise-can't-talk-about-it-here is well underway too. hee hee hee - secrets are fun!
Oh, and I started Mom's mother's day socks (well, sock, since I do one at a time). I'm using a neat pattern from Sockbug which you can find here, and it's my first experience with a sock on two circulars. A little weird but it's good to learn new things. Plus it's my first Knitalong so that's fun too.
Oddly, though, today I did no knitting at all. Not a stitch. But I had a great day of hockey-related fun with Bundy & Kid (and Peter, of course), which was very very nice. And tomorrow I'm on a vacation day. Sweet. More sock!
