Ow

I have been knitting up a storm over the last few days.

I finished the rapids cowl.

And started the Riverbanks hood from Knitty.

But all this knitting must come to a grinding halt, because I burned the palm of my right hand while making cookies this afternoon.

Ow.

Pardon Me While I Faint

I'm on Ravelry, bluesockmonkey, that's me. (I have a thing for blue and animals, don't I?)
You know my Twinkle shrug? It's on rav.
You know who favorited it?
Kay Gardiner of Mason-Dixon Knitting.
Check it out!
I could have died with excitement when I first saw that. Maybe now I'll actually wear it!

The Desert and the Ocean

Oh to be in Seattle now that fall is here! Rain, rain, rain!!!

Anyhow, I was watching a movie yesterday, Lawrence of Arabia, and I made sure that I had my sock with me. It’s a four hour movie. There must be knitting.

So I knit.

It is now my Lawrence sock. I don’t love this movie, but I do like it. The music is amazing!

It’s very romantic, you know. Riding camels across the shifting sands….

Sounds dreamy! Nice and dry too.

Purple Haze

Noro and plain purple wool. That's some rockin' harmony.

Back in the Saddle

Yep, I'm knitting again.

I started these toe-up socks yesterday. So I could have something to knit on durning my Halloween movie marathon. I really like the colors.
