A Few Moments of Downtime!
Last night was all about unpacking and putting things away...tonight? I have vegetated and finished these:
The Socks That Rock plain vanilla socks in Beached colorway. I used my Addi Lace circulars (size 1.5) and finished them off with a picot edging. They didn't take all that long to do, when you consider I had a cat show in there - I think I started these on August 29 (the second time, as the Addis are a tiny bit larger than my Harmonys so I had to restart with fewer toe stitches...)
I love this colorway (and it matches my Shawl That Jazz).
It occured to me that I didn't share with you my purchases from the weekend at the cat show:
These are personal purchases, of course, and not the tons of fabrics I picked up for the business! I had to get my Siamese Rescue Calendar for 2010, and that cute cat amongst the yarn up there in the left corner? It's one of a pack of 10 cards (all different) from my favorite cat caricature artist, J. S. Perry.
Today, I've picked up a few more cat fabrics (hmm...sounds like I'm preparing for Atlanta, doesn't it?) and have a few more that I want to get. It's a never-ending process of stocking up for future shows!

Lovely socks -- great colours in there!
The socks are entirely satisfying. What sort of picot edge do you use? I do one where you kind of add a slip stitch chain between the bound off stitches - nice and stretchy and a bit girly, too.
Lovely socks - even with all the interruptions of the cat show.
I swear, the worst part of traveling is having to unpack...even with meezer "help".
love the socks!
buying for the business isn't quite as fun as buying for yourself, is it?
Hooray for Atlanta! I love those cards that you bought, and the socks are lovely, too -- the picot edge is great. Why don't I do those more often? Hmm...
Wonderful socks... you are so prolific!
Say what?! I'm supposed to unpack my bag after a trip? Not just leave it beside my bed. Hmph.
Lovely socks, they look so perfect. Nice color for jeans, too.
