I've been in a knitting mood the last couple days.
I made a scarf for myself in Lion Brand Moonlight Mohair (color:Rain
Forest), which is a blend of earthtones and a strand of metallic.
Also started a scarf for my best friend, which I decided to co-opt for
myself halfway through. Patons Rumors (color: Moonstone Heather). By
the time I was done with the scarf, I was e-mailing LYS to special order
enough for a sweater. Mmmmmmm, the stuff is delightful to work with!
Soft and fluffy, and the colors match so much in my wardrobe.
And, since it's noon and I still have no paying work on my desk for
today, I'm off to knit a hat for Baby Claudia's first birthday. Who
knows where my knitting adventures will go off to after that while I
wait for my clients to get back into work mode after the holiday weekend!

I find knitting very soothing. I have been going through all that
expensive sock wool ( the German stuff that is washer/dryer good, Opal
et al) and knitting up the ends into VERY colourful socks for me. I
have had a few comments and queries as to whether I have a sock
fetish, but what do I care, they are toasty warm.

Socks are so much fun to make. I got some great book with tons of sock
patterns - divided into 3,4,5, or fair isle patterns - and charts so that
you can do them in 4,5 or 2 circular needles. I'm actually doing a pair
of heavier ones for DH as "house" socks now. But, have waiting a few skeins
of lovely washable soft merino or alpaca wool for the next few pairs.

The super has just laid claim to the pair now in production. Send me
the length of your foot and the next ones are yours.
