And yes, I knitted on baby socks during the episode!
This morning at church, one of the lay ministers asked me if they could borrow some of my knitting for a skit at the ministry fair this afternoon. I had baby socks in my purse on some size 1.5 double pointed needles but I didn't want to sacrifice them. So I told her I would bring back something a 'bit larger'. This afternoon while watching a tape of House I knitted up the beginnings of a scarf with some very old acrylic on size 8 straight metal needles. It is a good thing I did - the gal that used the knitting in her skit didn't know a thing about it and just by pretending dropped stitches in the middle of the thing. Nothing lost, though.
This week will be busy with work - first of the month means a round of reports to write. I'm also having a dinner at my home on Tuesday with 4 other couples and my hubby comes home from Russia on Thursday. While he is home this time we will be planning our vacation in June - we hope to do a driving tour of the Pacific Northwest for about a week.
Till later ~~ Dene

Can you imagine the relief I felt on looking at your stash and realising that the yarn I chose for your socks is *not* in there!
I had a little trouble with the heel, having chosen a toe-up-pattern, and resorted to short rows, but I hope they fit (they are now knitted). They look pretty, and a couple of my knitting group are feeling inspired by them (positive reporting, yay!)
I'm based in the UK, is there anything foody that you'd like me to send over with the socks e.g. tea bags, fudge? Or shall I just pick something at random?
love

My mom does Hula Dancing lessons and one of our neighbors asked to borrow one of her expensive grass skirts -- then later she realized it was for the *husband* as a joke. She was really not happy she gave them something expensive, so you were lucky you thought ahead of time with your own gorgeous yarn stash!
