I have a little clock in my house that dings like the one in the film House of Mirth

Hello, the top question on my mind today as it was a few weeks ago, is still where oh where could that sock be. I forgot to mention that not only had I lost the one big kneesock (that one from last years' Rowan? you know its been travelling with me to MDSW and Rhinebeck and auctions and everywhere and if you know me, you have probably met said sock) Anyway, but sadly, not only did I lose that sock, but I lost an entire pair of socks I was knitting for Noel.

sigh

Seriously I've been having memory lapses and forgetting peoples' names lately. And apparently socks.

So, I'm experiencing a new-found interest in knitting. Yes, I know. A knitting renaissance if you will. Weird, I bet you didn't know I'd even really stopped knitting for about 6 months. But it's true. And when I look back on those days, I can't even remember what things I had knitting that I stopped and had left lying about. Usually I remember my days and weeks by "what was I knitting then?"

It's like Sybil in that book who lost whole chunks of time. Maybe that's pretentious or a weird analogy. (is it pretentious to say that?) Oh well. I really can't remember. Maybe I was so busy? Maybe I'm getting old? Is it Alzheimer's already? Too many paint and Briwax fumes and Howards' Restor-A-Finish from fixing furniture and shabby chic-ing the hell out of junk furniture? Just don't know..

But I'm knitting. I almost have the Kim Hargreaves sweater done and I started some of those Kaffe Fassett sock yarn socks that everyone's doing. (hopefully not to be lost) I went to Loop in Philadelphia and had fun picking out yarn and talking to Craig, who is lots of fun.

Anyway, let me see if I have a picture of my progress so far on that KH thing...
Oh wait, I have that mitten:


It's cashmere.
Next up that sweater from that magazine that I bought that blue yarn for. I forget the name.

Overkill, right?

haha
