This and That

I'm packing up my third house in as many months. The house is full of piles, boxes, and bags. Clutter induces anxiety in me. Wednesday I went to circle just to make myself sit down and knit the swatches for the workshops I'm taking today (plus to see the people there and arrange yesterday). Three of the seven of us there came to knit swatches for one of the workshops.

I bought new shoes. I chose a half a size large just so I can wear heavier hand-knit socks with them. They go with all those nice skeins of variegated browns and grays I have in my sock yarn drawer. Now I need to knit the socks.

Yesterday three friends from knitting circle and I drove up to Port Townsend to take our friend and knitting teacher, Karen Alfke, to lunch and shopping. We had a great time. I bought yarn at both of the small yarn stores. Both are silk and wool blends, both in grays and browns - all about the neutrals lately.

Today I have two workshops from Melissa Leapman and another tomorrow. That's another post.

Hope the workshops went well! I finished the knitting on my shoulder shawl - yay! Any blocking tips? =)

Love your choice of neutrals. I know what you mean about the socks too. Acquiring the yarn is one thing but concentrating long enough to knit the socks is altogether something else, eh?

BTW, I enjoyed my classes with Melissa. I hope you did too.
