The second Trekking sock has come off the needles and April's winter weather is slowly moving out of the area. As a result, I will have to wait until the fall to give them a test drive.
Sunday evening, I started another sock. This one is Cherry Tree Hill Supersocke in African Grey. I'm not finished with the cuff yet, but once I get into the leg of the sock I'll take a picture once the colorway is presenting itself.
On the way home from work yesterday, I took a detour to knitting shop for a stash enhancement expedition. I came away with two hanks of Louet Gems sock yarn in Fern Green. I can't wait to try a neat pattern from one the Sensational Knitted Socks books. I also picked up a copy of the Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to peruse it yet. Stay posted for a quasi-book review.
The Bluegrass Festival of Books is this Saturday and I'm looking forward to going. I've always been a book lover and I hope to meet the Yarn Harlot and participate in the "knit in" afterwards.
On a more personal note . . .
While I had intentions to take a picture of the very lovely, and very special Cherry Tree Hill Potluck socks in pinks, there will be no picture. In the midst of all the anguish and emotional goings on, I forgot to take a picture before sending them with my momma. You see, over the past 20 months we've been fighting Mom's cancer, and that all came to a close on Wednesday, April 11th. I'm thankful for the time we were afforded, thankful for the relief of her pain, but it does not make what we are going through any easier. Many of us are better people for having known my mother - I have to keep that in mind, close to my heart and know that I may never have an answer to the "whys" that creep into my thoughts.
