Yesterday I finished a sock for my daughter . . . the same sock that has been sitting sans needles, since my (then) 2yo pulled them all out, for five months. I wrote about it and posted a pic in my blog
here, then the next day my son pulled out the needles. I was so upset I threw it onto the hall table and there it sat.
Yesterday, I finllay picked it up, put it back onto the needles and finished it. Last night I started the 2nd sock and got half way thru the gusset. This morning I woke up an dfinished the 2nd sock! I am so thrilled, another project finished and another skein of yarn out of my stash!

I pulled the Quatro Clapotis off the needles and then I went ahead and dropped the stitches, 7 of them, and blocked it a bit. I love the way it looked, the color is very nice and it has some nice drape to it (from what I can tell).
I was reading through The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook and I may not have needed to rip it out after all. It says turning your work clockwise instead of counter clockwise, which I do, minimizes the yarn twisting back onto its self. Shoot, who knew?
Looks like after I finish the Mountain Goat Clapotis I may have to start working on the Quatro one again.

Thursday night I finished knitting up the
KPS Neckdown Cardigan. I blocked the front edges yesterday so I could figure out what size zipper to put into it and today I will go buy a zipper, weave in the ends and sew in the zipper. woohoo! Another project almost done. =)

. . . well, not really. After working on the
Clapotis the last two days I am ripping it all out. I did the set-up and several increases, and I love how the yarn looks knitted up, but the yarn keeps kinking up as it comes off the ball and I keep having to stop and unwind it. I am not going to keep doing this for another 60â€Â.
One of the LYS is having a sidewalk sale today and I went. I did find some lovely yarn I think I’m going to try for the Clapotis. The yarn is Mountain Colors Mountain Goat (55% Mohair,45% Wool) in Silberbow. Two of the women who work there commented on how nice it is to work with, and hey, it was 1/2 off.
While I was at the LYS I also picked up 3 balls of novelty eyelash, one skein of Cascade 220 (that was supposed to coordinate with one of the eyelash but when I got home the color was not what I thought it was at the shop), and I also bought
A Good Yarn: Knit Along With Debbie Macomber.

I went to my
LYS today to pick up yet another set of circular needles, this time size 1. While I was there I picked up some yarn so I can start my Clapotis,
Cascade Quatro #9440. I’m planning on casting on as soon as the kiddos go to bed tonight.
