bind off & cast on

Usually I start off my day by bringing a cup of tea and my laptop to bed, then I write before Youngest Son wakes up. I did not realize how much I enjoyed my little routine until yesterday. Yesterday is the day I broke the outlet next to the bed. My laptop’s battery will last less than 30 minutes. That only gives me time to deal with the email, read a couple of favorite blogs, (yh & sq) and do a quick blog post of my own. Then I will need to move to my desk. Don’t get me wrong, I like my desk, there is just something about typing away in bed, in my own little world.

Husband’s socks were finished yesterday.


Diagonal Rib Socks. Louet Gems Merino. Size 2 needles.

Before bed I cast on a plain ol’sock

Well, the pattern is plain ol’, the yarn is SockPixie’s, Merino, Love Letters. I could write a love letter to this yarn. You may recall that this is my February Sock Club yarn. It has been such a long time since I knit a plain sock. Not only does the flat fabric let the colors do all the talking, but it is so relaxing.

The design for March’s Sock Club has net been written. I will probably do that and then cast on this weekend. That will be more of a challenge.

Happy Purim!!!!
