Lovely gifts! I can’t wait to see the pair of socks from Claudia.

You made my day when you said that you haven’t started your KAL sweater yet. Me either! I was feeling quite left out and behind–but now I feel OK again.

Thanks!

Well Sheri,
The computer fairies are at it again. I checked you blog as I always do knowing
that you don’t blog on Saturday, but there were the pictures that I couldn’t get
the first time around. Your gifts are all so beautiful. I know that you will enjoy
them. Nice to have socks made by someone else, especially hand spun. Hope
you are having a nice weekend.

Wow! I LOVE all of the socks that you got (mini and full-size!!) I’m not sure if I feel like I’m taking my friend with me when I wear socks she has knit for me.. but I’ll let you know soon, I hope!

I also knit when getting my hair done. It kills the time. I am planning on starting some socks with the lovely yarn that Stacy sent me. This is my perk for being her swap partner for the fling. And it is true the colors that she does are amazing! I thought it was pretty last night when I got home from work, this morning with sleep I really did not appreciate the colors for how intense they are. So all of the Tempted yarns should be flying right out of there!

No, I don’t knit while getting my hair cut (even if I tucked it under the protective cape, I would still be worried about hair), and I find that getting my hair cut, colored, or whatever, is just a nice relaxing time for me to just SIT there (which I hardly ever do without a book or knitting in hand).
What wonderful socks! I was checking out that Blossom Colorway yesterday, wondering how it would knit up! I just love it! And of course, the FIESTA’s are magnificent! I love that Fiesta! Happy weekend!

What cool birthday presents! So glad you had a fun birthday!

This weekend the Kid Slique and I will be trying to agree on a project. I started out with the easy-peasy scarf you showed us a few blog posts ago, but would it cooperate? Not on your life. I had to frog it about three times. It wants to be something else. I’ll let you know!

Knitting while having my hair cut? Dangerous.

I am working on my DIC-KAL sweater. I finished the second front yesterday and I am casting on the back now. I am plesantly surprised that it goes so fast, and I am really enjoying this yarn! I also should work on some socks, and I am itching to do some spinning.

I’ll admit that it’s weird, but I do it. I do just plain stockinette only and I, obviously, keep it under the protective cape thingy. And I find it easier to feel what I’m doing and thus not make mistakes if I use dk or heavier yarn for that project.

It looks like you got lots of lovely birthday presents.
