jeanniemacI have come to a screeching hault on the shawl. Suzoo's was something of a bust on Saturday, in the needle department. I couldn't find 10.75s, even though they carry a line that runs through that size. I did pick up 11s but I'm almost done with the 10.5 skein and can't proceed until the 10.75s have been aquired. I'm hoping that I can sneak in a trip to the Yarn Lady after one of my appointments this week. I think that they had 10.75s in stock the last time I was in.
I have been busy with socks, in the interim. I was able to get some Brown Sheep Nature Spun sport (which is actually sock weight) in Stone for my FILs socks. I've cast on a pair of Thuja from Knitty and we'll see how they do. Like the pairs for my SIL and BIL, I'm trying to get these socks to a try-on point before the baby is born, so that when the in-laws descend on us in late May or early June, I can fit the socks and finish them for Christmas. My BIL's socks are in the best position right now, as the first sock is well into the foot and the second sock is started. I started the heel on my SIL's first sock last night and have been contemplating starting the second sock on another pair of needles.
