Catching up with SP12

Dear Secret Pal - I must be the lousiest swap partner. I have neglected this blog and you. This summer has been so busy with my job, we just bought a house, and our normal farming activities that I don’t even know what day it is most of the time!

I will now attempt to answer all of the outstanding SP12 questions. Here goes.

I plurked it but forgot to mention here that my Secret Pal sent me a gift card to Starbuck’s. Yahoo! Thank you!

This week’s question is “What would you consider the perfect amount of stash?”

I wish I knew! One that you can easily manage and find a skein or three if you are looking for them. I think you need plenty of options when deciding what to kit.

Start of SOS08 #1

Last night I finally started my first sock for Summer of Socks 08. I am not a huge fan of Judy’s magic cast on but gave it a go anyway. And pulled it off my first time around, no small feat for my butter fingers.

I have had the Shibui Knits yarn in my stash for quite some time, and when I saw Wendy’s pattern for Summer of Socks, I finally had the perfect project for it.

Here’s hoping I get these done soon!
