Well, we didn't make it to Orcas Island this weekend due to clouds. I was really hoping to show you my completed Sockapalooza socks (Diamond Lace) in a cool picture by the water (or by a fireman), but you'll have to settle for my white porch swing (yes, I brought the South with me to Oregon). *grin*
I hope I didn't knit too much of my own hair into these socks. This post-baby shedding is making me cray-ay-zee!
The Hubby has been under a bit of stress lately and has been resorting to *ahem* retail therapy to get him through, so I decided I was owed some of the fun, too! I redeemed a credit I had at KnitPicks and took advantage of their book sale. And I also found lots of gorgeous Fleece Artist sock yarn on sale at Little Knits. :) I can't wait for it all to get here so I can show you the goodies!
What's next? I'm trying to whip up a little hat for a cousin's new baby, and I'm thinking of including some of the Saartje booties, too, since they're so sweet. And you'll be seeing some double knitting here in the near future. I am teaching a class at my knitting guild in September and need samples to show.

We all deserve a little retail therapy every now and then. And with cashing in a credit, you do so guilt-free. Nice!
Love the diamond lace socks. I'm sorry that they, and you, didn't get to make it on your trip, though.
And those booties?! Too precious. I want a pair in adult size. :)
I love the way you just casually drop the "I'm teaching a class" thing in there, as if that's no big deal. Very cool, Amanda.
Ah, a front porch swing. . . You really are a Southern girl at heart, aren't you?
Cute socks :-)
They are beautiful!
I lost crazy amounts of hair after both my children. Crazy things hormones, eh?
Reciprocal retail therapy sounds good to me!
The socks look great ... your pal will love them!
Oh, and I forgot to mention the hair loss thing ... I am NOT looking forward to that. My hair was getting thinner (age) before this pregnancy, and I've been enjoying my new, thicker tresses. I'm a bit worried about how MUCH I'm going to loose after the babe is born.
