fabric of our lives

i did not post yesterday, 9/11, as i chose to dedicate the day to those who perished, those who fought to save them, and those who continue to fight every day. i pledged to knit socks for soldiers on 9/11, and that i did - no playing on the internet for the day.

but...... I'M BAAAAAACK......

pics today of the boot socks, done and ready for their recipient. They are knit from a dk weight yarn from puckerbrush that is think i got on the internet long ago... but might've been a purchase at stitches east last year. sorry it has been in my stash too long to remember.... i've been much better about documenting great yarn this year - which i why i think this is a previous purchase.

i also started on a simple noro silk garden scarf from Brooklyn Tweed (aka Jared). The terrific colors jared used are no longer available so i punted and picked something i think will work well. interesting as simple to knit - so works for me!
