We spent the past week up at my husband's family lake cabin and it was truly a slice of heaven. A refreshing mix of cool, windy days and hot, humid ones - lots of fishing, reading, swimming, and of course, knitting!
Friends came over for a visit on Thursday and encountered the scene of four knitters working on different projects in the living room: MIL was in the midst of a prayer shawl, my 9-year-old daughter was experimenting with a diamond-shaped blanket for her American Girl doll, I was still committed to my February Baby Sweater, and my 6-year-old son was practicing knitting in the round on size 10 wooden circs and some colorful blue kitchen cotton.
I experimented with my first adult sock:
I have no love for this sock. It has since been frogged and re-started using a different ribbing at the cuff, but will soon be frogged again. I saw a really cute Baby Surprise Jacket that was knit using one skein of this same Colinette Jitterbug yarn, so I think I will give that a try instead.
On the upside, knitting at the cabin does provide for some unusual but pretty backdrops for project photos:
I wish I'd found a place to lay out and photograph my February sweater - I just didn't have the nerve to lay it out on moss after all of the work I've put in already!
