slip sliding ...

...away...
... i am still working on the green socks. gusset decreases are done on the first one and now onto the second. i recommend this "concurrent" sock making, as it makes for a pair done at the same time - and what you've done first is fresh in your mind when you go to do it second. so to speak... i have enough needles to probably knit 10 pairs concurrently - and probably so do you. One concession is that if you have one ball/skein/hank of yarn you have to wind them off into two cakes that you can use - or, as i understand it, use the ball from the outside and the inside. Now, i see that as creating a problem if you have a patterning yarn - one sock pattern will work one way and the other sock the opposite. at least i THINK so.

i've found a razor shell pattern scarf that is lovely on everyday autumn's blog here. Her scarf is made with silk garden from noro, and the original pattern is referenced here. i don't have a picture, but take a ride and go and see.

i have two new cds that i need to listen to - the first is probably (again) not new to anyone but me - Kelly Clarkson's My December. The second is a Sarah McLaughlin Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff. From this CD, there is the song Ordinary Miracle - SM's version from the movie Charlotte's Web - but i have already been long in love with this song by Fisher.

"When you wake up everyday Please don't throw your dreams away Hold them close to your heart Cause we are all a part Of the ordinary miracle"
