Time Keeps on Tickin'
I always plan to make my posts quick, but today I mean it!
Salto socks are done and they are gorgeous!
That's what you get when you take a fabulous pattern and mix it with really great yarn. One of my favorite features about these socks is how long they are. Left to my own devices, I usually make cuffs a little short 'cuz I get impatient. They are almost too pretty to wear, but I guess I'll just have to try!
There has been a little more spinning of the pencil roving.
Here it is hanging in my laundry room after a good soak in Eucalan. It did soften up a little, but it is far from cashmere. I should have enough roving left to make my total amount about double of what you see here. Probably not enough for a vest. Hat? Industrial strength mittens?
My next project is a big secret and I've got an ambitious deadline. I can only give you a teeny peek here.
For full details, you can go to Ravelry. If you can't access Ravelry, then maybe you aren't supposed to know! All will be revealed in time. (Tick, tick, tick...)
It will be interesting to come up with blog fodder while I can't show you my knitting. Luckily for me, I am only posting once in a blue moon these days. Another month or so, and I really think life will slow down a little bit and I'll have more time. Before that, I have a birthday, a graduation, and visiting grandparents (both sets, overlapping!) to get through. Send any spare happy thoughts my way!

Your Saltos are making me want to make some. So much ahead of them, including pushing out a baby...
Good luck with everything coming up!

Oooooh! Love them to bits! I wouldn't say too pretty to wear, though - too pretty to take off maybe (though that way lies some serious stank!). I am back among the bloggy-people, by the way. Catch you later, i have about 1200 spam emails to delete.
