On the knitting side of things!

Believe it or not but I have been knitting! I started a pair of plain socks out of Nero and I have gotten one done and started on the next. I'm not in love with this yarn it is not soft at all but I do love the colors of fall. I did have a friend tell me the other day that the yarn will soften up as I wash them, so we will see!
And I did have some new yarn come a few days ago. Its Lorna's Lace Sports weight in Wendy Knits Sunrise. I'm getting ready to go on a trip soon and thought I would start a sweater to take on the airplane! I was a little surprised by the colors the red is more pink but that's O.K. I still like it!

  7. Love that sock. I always love the color changes that happen with Noro though sometimes the colors themselves are a bit out there.
