It was cloudy all day yesterday. Today is even darker and it's raining. I just couldn't face another day of knitting dark gray socks. This the second pair of dark gray socks in a row. Plus, I'm right at the heel of this last sock--not a good place to carry the sock around with me to knit. I need to sit in one place--preferably a quiet place--to knit the heel. Then it can go back on the road with me, riding along in my bag so that I can pull it out for a few rows here and there.
So when Mommy needed an early morning baby sitter this morning, I grabbed a pair of needles and a new ball of yarn as I walked out the door. Bright colored yarn. Baby Sister needs a new hat. And before she woke up, I had a good start on this one.
This yarn was like a fuzzy rainbow after knitting miles and miles of dark gray.
I made one last trip up the stairs to check on Baby Sister before I left and I discovered she had just woken up. Now THIS was the sunshine my day really needed!
Both projects look great. Knitting long gray socks really is an act of love, but I know it was a relief to get some brighter knitting on the needles. Not to mention for such a cutie.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy socks. And such a dear baby girl.
