there is ICE in my birdbath!



SEE THE ICE?!
it is 10:30 am in the bellybutton of california. we are NOT suppose to have ICE.


FETCHING
US 6 needles
40 sts instead of 45
patons classic wool in denim

this is my fourth pair of fetching. i extended the "fingers" and added a thumb gusset which seems to make the wrister fit better. i have gifted all four pairs but will definitely need a pair for myself if our cold spell continues! HEY! THIS IS SUNNY CALIFORNIA! did you see the ice in my birdbath?!

i think i am going to frog the sideways socks and let the pattern and yarn marinate a bit longer. i don't think that the garter cuff is going to fit very well and i don't want to waste my time or yarn on something that will not fit. i will try again but am thinking about picking up stitches from the cuff edge and knitting a regular ribbed cuff. do you think that would work?

to those of you who are really in the bad weather area of the us, my thoughts are with you. i hope all of you get your power back soon. stay safe.

thank you to those of you who have dropped by and left comments. i truly appreciate them.

That's strange, we've had an unseasonably warm winter. I was upset that I haven't been able to use many of my cold weather clothes and knits.

I have yet to make Fetching. Though I think I might at some point. Too many things to do for now though.
