Mum's heels ~

Can't believe I was able to turn both heels during cross country practice. Seems faster to turn heels when I've just done the Track Star heels last week, so these went super fast. Also size 3 needles help with the speed!They are looking lovely, and warm for mum in the winter. I think she would not like to think about alpaca socks now, given the heat wave they are having!!!
P.S. Sock Summit Starts Tomorrow!!!!

Qiviuk and coffee ~

Working on this lovely scarf made from this cobweb of fiber is a lovely experience. I find that it is growing bit by bit with each row of teeny tiny stitches.These green Signature Needles are so great to work with, even with the green needle against the green qiviuk yarn. All lovely!

Mum's socks ~

Working on mum's socks again. Alpaca, as she feels scratchy with wool next to her skin, and on size 3 needles, so they should be knitting up faster.... except that they have slipped in the priority list with all my shawls and other socks.Making progress lately ~ love to knit during kids' cross country practice! Love to knit outside! Love to be knitting on the gusset already!

Stitch 'n Pitch ~

We had a great night at Seattle's Stitch 'n Pitch. Although our team lost, we had lots of fun with lots of knitters, plus surprise visit from our nephew! He also came with us to the midnight showing of Harry Potter, so it was an exciting day for him, too!All the knitting projects were fun to check out - lots of lace and socks and blankets being knit in our section. Hey, check out the Track Star socks, next to the Track Star!!!Lots of shops and sales and inspiration along the walkways of the stadium.This is the first year I've made it to our Stitch 'n Pitch and it was great fun!

Harry at Midnight ~

We were lucky to get tickets for the midnight showing of the last Harry Potter movie. It was fabulous and we had a blast waiting to see the movie, and seeing all the great costumes. We were wearing the scarves I knit for the last movie's midnight showing and noon showing. Tonight there was a gal dressed as Bellatrix that was almost too real!!! Scary wench!Some lovely knitted items in this movie, but I won't be a Spoiler and wreck your fun. Bittersweet that this is the last Harry Potter film, as we have loved this delightful ride into Harry's world!

Track Star Knitting ~

The road trip home was all track star knitting. I'm knitting a slip stitch cuff for these socks as it shows off the lovely yarn really well. I think I can finish these before the end of July if I just get more time for the knitting (we all say that, don't we....just need more knitting time!) in the next few weeks.Here are the track star socks celebrating summer with an icy cool drink ~ check out those cuffs!
