Last night we marked our 15th wedding anniversary at my favorite Greek restaurant for a family dinner. It was a very enjoyable meal with joking around and our "Would you rather be this or that" game. Pretty mellow on the whole. When we returned home, I went to my knitting while my husband and son did a little computer gaming. Then right before bed I said "Oops I almost forgot" rushing downstairs to find my husband's gift - a pair of wool socks for winter. He opened them and gave me a hug, but I felt a bit of something extra under his shirt. He reached under his t-shirt to give my the yarn you see above. He's tricky that husband of mine and oh so fun! It's a pair of matched self striping sock yarn from Turtlepurl in the colorway called "OM". Of course, I had to quick wind it into cakes, cast on and knit to see how the stripes would play out. Really a fun rainbow progression. The violet and indigo are a bit hard to tell apart, but other than that I just love it. I am a pretty big rainbow fan growing up in the 1970-80's I had many a rainbow shirt and sweater. I'm knitting the socks toe up as you can see, in a 3x1 rib and will be using a afterthought heel for these to keep the stripes nice and even. So,that's all I have for you today. See ya all next week!
