So I was hoping to buy a replacement needle for the one that broke on the Sheepicorn socks. LYS doesn't have the size and length of the type I need, Knit Picks is expensive if I wanted to get two sizes that I need it would be about $25. They have 'some' needles on sale, and in the nickle plated don't have the size and length I need. Grrumble. Going through Amazon for Chiao Goo is on hold due to choosing to boycott for ordering online (not going to go into details here but if you've been following the news, explanation isn't necessary). So I'm stuck with working on the gloves still, and decided to pick up the crochet project that was going to be a blanket. I am using a dark royal blue as a border on the multi color piece that's been languishing. Decided it will be a good mat for Rocky to lay on in the kitchen window.
I have decided that these socks will not be fitting any natural foot so when I get the courage I'll be taking it off the needles and rewinding the yarn to start again. It's still sitting in the corner, banished from activity until I decide to do that. I love the Faux Braid pattern, just the sole will be standard knit with a padded heel I think.
I just spent most of my 'hobby money' on some soil and fertilzer for the garden instead. Priorities I suppose are determined by the constraints of commerce.
That's all I've got for now, just plugging along.
